Build ID: I20080617-2000
Similar to bug 154579

Steps To Reproduce:
1. Decide to implement custom figure (such as an oval) in a Zest graph.

2. Since an oval is only slightly different from the default GraphLabel's rounded rectangle, you want to subclass it and override paint() and adjustBoundsToFit().

3. Unfortunately, GraphLabel is in the zest.core.widgets.internal package, which isn't exported from the Zest core JAR.

I think Zest not only needs the ability to implement custom figures easily, but it should also be easy to modify the existing figures so that we don't need to implement all the common internal chores.
