This does not change the functionality of GNEX, but makes several administrative changes:
Updates the README to show more detail about the history and nature of GNEX. I also did some work to give the acronym a rational modern-day meaning. Make sure you're happy with that.
Clarifies that GNEX operates under GPL 3.0.
Adds a .gitignore.
Adds some image assets, which are not yet used in any way, but are available for possible future use.
Some notes about the images:
The images are (obviously) based on the Emacs icons, which is why I think it's important to clarify that the license under which this is offered is the same license that the rest of Emacs is offered. But we're already building on Emacs Lisp code, so probably we needed to do that anyway.
I had this working on my previous work laptop (MacOS) with the images in the .icns file. I'm using Ubuntu now, so I don't have an easy way to recreate what I did to make that work, but I may be able to figure it out later with some additional effort. I think doing it on Linux will need one or more individual images that I have since extracted from that. Some of the images have an extra x32 in their name because they have 32-colors, which seemed to be what made some icon tool happy in the past. The ones without that extra x32 are full RGB color maps. Also, the .icns file seemed to want icons at 1024, 512, 256, 32, and 16, but not 64 or 128, not sure why.
Of course, if you don't like the image icons, that's a different matter. In that case, feel free to reject this PR and I can make one that doesn't use it. :)
