I'm sure your thinking of all the variations of ADD_MENUITEM* in macros.h.
Currently there are #if/#endifs around SetBitmap() to prevent bitmaps from
being added to menus on OSX.  We could just as easily add another entry to
config.h.in and a CMake definition to control if bitmaps get added to menu
items.  The default behavior would be exactly what we currently have but they
could be forced on or off at build time.  I'm am willing to make is so, if no
one objects.  This is one of those issues where the builders might want to
consult with the Kicad user group before changing the current behavior.
