Is this related to #99? I don't think I even realized there was icon generation going on, I thought we always had all of them pre-generated and checked in.

If the scripts in question are just for taking a big source icon and generating all the smaller permutations, and there's no existing common tool for doing so or something built-in to the Xcode tools suite, then moving it to it's own repository under macvim-dev so we can use it the next time the OS X icon style changes seems reasonable to me.

I guess this means MacVim will always have the new-style icon even on old OS X versions for which the style doesn't match? I don't know how much that matters; I certainly don't care as I don't use anything but the most-current OS X version. Do others?

That's my take on it.

No, it's not related to #99. That is, nothing regarding our generation scripts is responsible for the problem in #99. The problem there is about the app icon, not the document icons. It's only the latter that used to be script-generated on every build. If we can "fix" the app icon, #99 is done.

The icon-generating scripts are mainly for putting filetype-extension text on the document icons. There is no reason to do this on every build, which is why I'm glad it hasn't been happening on every build. I can't remember when it stopped, because I always just immediately overwrite our icons with my own custom ones.

@chdiza you want to remove src/MacVim/icons/Makefile and icon generating code from this repository, because you just want to simplify the Macvim Homebrew formula to remove its custom-icon code? that's all?

move to #176
