Sure, I did use the word "easily". One should be able to easily write some code
that grabs any binary file and write those bytes into an inlined array. In the
end, we would paste something like:
   const unsigned char png_data[] = { 0xff, 0x6a, .... };
A XPM, on the other hand, is already done and sliced for you. The XPM file
already looks like something like:
   const char *image_data = "jkhelu3534i234wekljw ... ";

Anyway, compiling this data into the executable isn't that good of an idea.
These data isn't even used for anything other than the package selector thing.
But it's just four or five icons, and our executable is much smaller than the
qt one already, so I didn't bother going through all the trouble to make it
work for automake. (I'm only comfortable with plain old Makefile files...)
However, we want to ship our icons in separated files from the executable...
Maybe now will be a good time to kill a few birds at once. ;)
