(Defining Images): Clean up previous change.

This variable's value is a list of locations in which to search for
image files.  If an element is a string, it is taken to be the name of
a directory to search.  If an element is a variable symbol, the value
of that variable is used as a list of directories to search.

The default is to search in @file{@code{data-directory}/images}, then
in @code{data-directory}, and finally in the directories specified by
@code{load-path}.  Subdirectories are not automatically included in
the search, so if you put an image file in a subdirectory, you have to
supply the subdirectory name explicitly.  For example, if you put an
image file @file{bar.xpm} in @file{@code{data-directory}/images/foo/},
you should define the image as:

@example
  (defimage foo-image '((:type xpm :file "foo/bar.xpm")))
@end example
@end defvar

a directory to search.  If an element is a variable symbol, the value
of that variable is used as a list of directories to search.

The default is to search in the @file{images} subdirectory of the
directory specified by @code{data-directory}, then the directory
specified by @code{data-directory}, and finally in the directories in
@code{load-path}.  Subdirectories are not automatically included in
the search, so if you put an image file in a subdirectory, you have to
supply the subdirectory name explicitly.  For example, to find the
image @file{images/foo/bar.xpm} within @code{data-directory} you
should specify the image as follows:

@example
(defimage foo-image '((:type xpm :file "foo/bar.xpm")))
