World Editor enhancement

I am re-doing my game terrain texturing and changing/fixing anoying editor issues as I go along.
When adding new textures, I found myself constantly going from the editor to WinXp explorer in thumbnail mode to 'see' what the damn texture looked like. The editor texture list just gives names and I wanted to SEE the difference between grass1 and grass2 etc.
I thought, add an image next to the file list. As it turns out, its really simple. Just add a GuiBitmapCtrl(LoadFileBitmap) to the right of the list, then edit the GuiTextListCtrl(loadFileList) and add the following string to it's "command" option.
"LoadFileBitmap.setBitmap(loadFileList.getValue());";

That's pretty sexy. :) Nice job, I've noted it in the bug tracker as something to consider. #839.

It's pretty straightforward. I'd guess, load up the GUI Editor when having the texture chooser open, right click the window and edit its width to be larger, add a GuiBitmapCtrl in the space and name it "LoadFileBitmap", and then click on the list of textures and edit the properties for the command section to say "LoadFileBitmap.setBitmap(loadFileList.getValue());";.
