Hi Piotr,

It's a nice idea, and I certainly think it would be good not to have
to compile in the icons, but instead be able to load from files.
However, as far as I know, there are some technical problems with
that, to do with WX icons only being able to use XPM on all platforms,

If nothing else, it might reduce the horrible recompile that happens
if bitmaps.h gets touched.

Cheers,

John
