I guess almost nobody is talking about the sources as much as I am, while, 
indeed, I never made a Crystal icon. They are too different from my own 
drawing style. 

Yet, the crystal icon set was missing three things: 
- sources
- an icon guide
- availability of the sources kde has (as they are all over cvs)

Number 2 is solved now, I rewrote the guide, number 3 is being worked on, by 
Frans Englich ( I wrote the read me). 

To have a good infrastructure, now we need the sources. Of course you can say, 
hee, ante, where are your icons? - but getting some ground work right, the 
infrastructure, is important enough. It is not helpful to start questioning 
who is saying what. 

I really hate to see all the extra work that has to be done, all the confusion 
because sources are missing. In an open source project you really need 
sources to get somewhere. 

In some cases principles count, and are effective.

And, did we enter in a discussion now, or not?
