	Hey - don't let me hurt your schooling - just wanted to make contact.

	Correct :-) so those directories ends up as the top-level of the .zip
file when it is all packed up.

	I believe that is dead in master - we should just git remove it.

	Lol :-) it is probably just broken path; just replace it with
cmd/sc_helperdialog.png perhaps it is not even used in the code, if so
we can hack that out too.

	Wow - that makefile is nasty. Since we have to gnu-make-ise this stuff;
I would be inclined (personally) to rip and replace the sort.pl and
diffmv.pl scripts [ which suck and are only used here ], and merge them
all into one tool (packimages.pl).

	The trick here (I think) is to understand what is needed and simplify
it all into that one tool.

	The basic idea is that we have several inputs:

	* an image-sort.lst
		+ this lists the .xml files that describe standard
		  and advanced toolbars [ it is prolly out of date ;-]
		+ we parse this, and then read those xml files to
		  determine the order that icons will be requested in.

	* a directory path to the image lists
		+ eg. solver/300/unxlngi6.pro/res/img/
		+ since we have looots of artwork, much of which is not
		  used ;-) we build lists of referenced icons for each
		  resource file; and so - cat *.ilst | sort | uniq 
		  from that directory is the full list of files we want
		  to pack

	* fallbacks:
		+ our custom themes are not complete so we stack them:
		  tango on industrial on default_images
		+ that produces a composite theme with no holes :-)

	That's about it - anything else is prolly over complexity that we want
to kill :-)

	Lets sort that out a different way then ;-)

	ATB,

		Michael.
