this resource implements a new GuiControl, GuiSingleBitmapButtonCtrl. motivation: it's a pain to make four bitmaps for a single button, especially when prototyping, and often a simple change in color is sufficient to indicate the button's four states.

This resource implements lazy loading of bitmap files in GuiBitmapCtrl. In situations where you have very many GuiBitmapCtrls being created at the same time but not all of them are actually in view at the time of creation, if your app stutters during that creation phase, this may alleviate that.

when doing math, torquescript pleasantly converts large integers to floats, which then get represented as scientific notation, and goodbye, precision. some time ago Peter Simard made some routines to do proper integer arithmetic. i can't find his original code now, because i chose different names for the console functions, and it must have been in a forum post rather than as a resource. so thanks, Peter!
