Question about icons

[Jonh Wendell <jwendell gnome org>]

Hi, folks.

I'm creating my own mime-type for vinagre, and i want to associate an
icon to it.

I know i have to put my icon on $datadir/icons/gnome/$size/mimetypes.

The icon i want to use is already shipped with gnome, it's
gnome-remote-desktop.

My question is: Is it possible just to create symbolic links instead of
ship my own icon? I think this is better for two reasons: saving HD
space and follow theme changes.

How to do such thing in autoconf?

PS: The mime-type stuff itself is already working, i just want to have
my files with an icon :)

Thanks,
