In 'menus.xrc', some <bitmap> elements has 'platform="win"', while others
did not; and the ones that didn't weren't all GTK "stock" actions. So I
added 'platform="win"' to everything revision 6026 (20141106T1452Z). Now
the code is uniform, and does the expected thing for msw and osx. As for
GTK, it doesn't do the expected thing, but at least it's not random; I'd
welcome a patch that writes 'platform="unix|win"' where appropriate, but
I'm personally not exactly sure which actions are "stock" for GTK.
