KDE Icon Set Build Kit
Source (link to git-repo or to original if based on someone elses unmodified work): Add the source-code for this project on opencode.net
The KDE Icon Set Build Kit consist of a wonderful script posted by Maitre with the SNOWE2-Rade8-Template Icon set. I've modified the script slightly and constructed a blank template for icon Porters and Developers to use to create KDE Icon sets. All that developers or porters have to do is add icons to the template's 128x128 and 32x32 directories and run the buildset (./buildset) script. The appropriate Icon set name must be added to the index.desktop and buildset files, but that's about all. Some disrtibutions use modified names (i.e. Mandrake) for the Kmenu and various other icons, but the script has instructions about how to create the specialized icons. Please examine the script. You dont have to know much about code to figure out how it works or modify it. There are plenty of comments to walk people through modifying the script when needed. Mandrake, Suse, Redhat, and BSD are already currently supported for most icons, but if anyone knows of other distributions that they would like the script to natively support please modify the script and submit it to nbargnesi@den-4.com, u_nbargnesi@umassd.edu, or guppetto@msn.com so that the updates get added to this page or Maitre's SNOWE2-Rade8-Template posting. You can also post a link to any modifed scripts in this posting for even faster updates. I would like to thank Maitre for such a great script. Icons sets are now a breaze to create, because the 128x128 icons are the only icons that an artist has to create using this script. I am not an artist, but I've been able to port two icon sets in a week (Exqusite and H30), whereas before I wouldn't have even thought of trying to do such a project.

Also I would like to suggest disjoint config part of the script into the separate file.
