 Brad Giesbrecht found a seemingly abandoned, but very useful tool to
 create icns files called "makeicns".

 We updated it a little with a newer IconFamily class to get rid of some
 deprecation warnings on OS X 10.6.

 The Makefile is still rudimentary, but building works fine and the
 Portfile takes care of installing the executable.

 We want to suggest this neat tool for inclusion into MacPorts, because it
 could help in creating icns files, e.g. for the auto-creation of icons for
 starter apps like the one we recently introduced for kmymoney.
 As soon as makeicns is available via MacPorts we'll file an update for
 kmymoney's portfile to make use of this tool.

 We hope that hosting the files on bitbucket.org poses no problem, since
 authenticity of the downloaded files from there is guaranteed through the
 checksums.
