[Therion] Metapost code for pendant and stromatolite symbols

[Bill Gee]

Hi Martin -

I looked over the Metapost samples on the Therion Wiki but found nothing that 
seemed useful.  I have done some Metapost code for symbols like stalactites 
and stalacmites, and I modified the popcorn symbol, so Metapost is not 
completely alien to my experience.  I am no expert, though.

The pendant symbol is a bit of a challenge because it is not straight lines.  
I need to figure out how to draw curved lines for it.

The stromatolite symbol is even more of a challenge because I can't find 
anything to draw!  One of my caving buddies has created his own symbol.  He 
did it as a small jpg file, and I think I could do it in Metapost without much 
trouble.  I would like to use an official symbol, if such a thing exists.

Regards - Bill Gee
