Eh eh...

BTW, OK to close as NOTGNOME all KDE related (by now kde provide its own
HC theme...)?

I'm not sure about Firefox, OO.o, Eclipse, Pidgin and other apps not
included in GNOME Desktop but useful to GNOME users... Technically are
NOTGNOME too....

Yeah, the <context>-extra directories are places to put available HC svg
icons not defined in fd.o naming spec, waiting to put them directly in
the relevant applications.

My point of view is:
      * provide all fd.o icons in HC-svg
      * kill current PNG based HC
      * rename HC-svg to HC
      * make applications install their own HC icons in
        $prefix/share/icons/HighContrast/scalable/<context>

My only doubt is: should we provide a HighContrast.pc file like this

        prefix=/opt/gnome2
        datarootdir=${prefix}/share
        icondir=${datarootdir}/icons/HighContrast
        
        Name: HighContrast icon-theme
        Description: A collection of icons used for HC themes in GNOME.
        Version: 2.xx.x
        Requires: gnome-icon-theme
        Libs: 
        Cflags:
        
in order to export ${icondir} (note this make applications depend on
gnome-themes package) or we can just let applications to hardcode the
${icondir} path?
