Thomas, it's not so simple manage current stuff due to large size and
the number of theme. Now we have (icon theme + stock theme) * 4 :-( By
now all a11y themes are using the same .rc files 'cause it seems that
they have the same icons; trying to remove/move a "legacy" icon, I
should remove/move it from all a11y themes, then delete from
relevant .rc file. 

So, I like to try another approach, the same adopted for HighContrast
using the -SVG directory: start from zero and entirely remove legacy
stuff when new are ready.

I'll start from LowContrast. Currently there are no icons in
icon-themes/LowContrast and the theme itself seems just a placeholder,
inheriting stuff from LowContrastLargePrint.

My idea is start to put here ready icons from g-i-t using
icon-naming-utils, then remove legacy icons from LowContrastLargePrint.
Something like the current - and slow :-( - work on HighContrast-SVG

When finished, we should have:
      * named icons from Icon Naming Spec under
        icon-themes/LowContrast/<size>/<context>
      * named icons not listed in I.N.S. under
        icon-themes/LowContrast/<size>/<context>-extra (for example the
        custom themeable icons from Epiphany)
      * non-named icons (i.e. icons you can customize only using gtkrc)
        under gtk-themes/LowContrast
      * no more icons under LowContrastLargePrint

OK to proceed?

PS here is any command/feature/other to adjust levels in SVG files?
Something like [1] for PNG? Otherwise I'll have to render 48 and 128
versions in PNG, then adjust levels.

PPS Jakub, what's the same command then [1] for ImageMagic's convert
utility?
