Hi Robert,

A few months ago, I started dispatching your icon set into individual 
svg files to get it like the default qgis set and to ease the work on it 
as separate packages means the possibility to follow the evolution of 
one icon in a svn repo.

Unfortunatly I've not been able to achieve this port due to lack of time 
and some difficulty to browse the source file. I can upload what I've 
done somewhere if interested.

I planned to do some work on your icon set to bring more contrast (it is 
difficult for some to distinguish between active and unactive).

About the map icon sets, having them is one thing but for now it would 
be too painful to browse in the composer item tab without a filtering 
tool (the folder search doesn't fill this gap).

Regards,
Jean Roc
