Ken, thanks for reminding me I should strive to do the Right Thing!  ;-)

I've added a GUIComposite class that ActionCache and EZBin inherit
from.  Now, instead of specially-named methods for a composite (e.g.
setControlPanelGeometryRecordName), composite classes call either:

- (const char *)windowGeometryRecordName

or

- (const char *)windowGeometryRecordNameForComponent: (const char *)NAME

A GUIComposite subclass uses these to pass on a name to an
ArchivedGeometryWidget component.  In the latter case, a "-NAME" is appended
to the argument of setWindowGeometryRecordName provided by the user.

The only change this should require in apps is to rename
setControlPanelGeometryRecordName to (the conventional)
setWindowGeometryRecordName.
