Review request for KDE Frameworks, kdewin, Alex Merry, Christoph Feck, and Hannah von \
Reth.


Changes
-------

CMake file cleanup and Description update.


Repository: kiconthemes


Description (updated)
-------

Recently I committed a few changes to `ecm_add_app_icon` that make use of the fact \
that KIconThemes includes a `ksvg2icns` utility, making it possible to generate an \
application icon from an SVG file instead of from a series of PNG files. 

With the present patch I propose to add an updated and extensively rewritten version \
of the ageing `svg2ico` tool from the KDEWin project to KIconThemes. The goal is to \
have a proper and up-to-date tool to generate application icons from SVG on MS \
Windows too. This new version (named `ksvg2ico` in line with `ksvg2icns`) is a \
standalone tool that combines SVG - PNG conversion with PNG - ICO conversion. More \
accurately: it renders SVG files to an internal bitmap and then saves those bitmaps \
(as BMP?) to the .ico file.

- it now handles sizes up to 256x256, in part thanks to syncing `QtIcoHandler` with \
                the version from Qt 5.6 .
- for that it uses a private copy of that class, with the unused read support \
disabled. Using Qt's internal version through `QImageWriter` isn't possible because \
                that class doesn't yet support writing multiple images to a single \
                file.
- a `--rcfile` option is provided, copied from `png2ico`.
- the PNG files are still saved and are left for debugging when `--debug` is given.

I considered proposing it to KDEWin instead, but in the end I liked the idea better \
to provide icon conversion utilities for Mac and Windows with a framework, where they \
might also serve in a less KDE-centric context (and cross-platform development).
