Hi everyone,

I really like Nicolas' icons, and I am developing an Emacs color-theme that
coordinates with them (screenshots soon!) I've also agreed to help out with
the code, since I wrote some similar stuff a while back.

Carsten: right now this code requires a patch to org.el, but I'm not sure
how much effect it has on other code---can you peek at the patch and see if
this icons code could be made to run on a stock org.el by integrating the
patch?
