	Carlos - I am a user rather than a programmer, this looks more the inner working of a build file, perhaps there could be a folder in the installed QGIS for symbols

	Recently I printed a QGIS file as a PDF then open the file in Inkscape and the point symbols were bitmaps rather than vector, this surprised me

	...not sure how good my graphic skills are at the moment!

	A thought for the future - add a repository to the QGIS web page for shared point symbols
