	Nice - only 150 duplicated icons. I've added an easy hack for this, we
should fix in the code first [ it should be easy ].

	Right - if we can provide some more details to motivate people in that
task into the other icon task after that; "un-screw-up accessible
icon..." that might motivate people to look at that.

	It badly needs doing, and we can save a chunk of memory, download
bandwidth etc. etc. doing that - we currently duplicate the HC icons in
every theme (I think) ;-)

	Be great to get some numbers into there - eg. the difference in
images.zip file size with and without the hc icons.

	Thanks !
