Hi,

I am writing to ask if somebody on this list could please, please,
please help me figure out what to do with the doc icon generation.
The problem is that it depends on a certain websites being available
in order to download a font, which has been causing several people
problems.

The simplest solution (I thought) would be to add a
"--enable-docicons" flag to the configure script and have this
disabled by default. I have now lost countless hours trying to figure
out how to get this working and am now about to give up (autotools
makes me never want to lay eyes on a computer ever again!).

In a nutshell, the icons are generated by src/MacVim/icons/Makefile.
I thought --enable-docicons could cause an environment variable to be
set which would be checked in this Makefile (I cannot figure out how
to reliably do this with autotools).  Also, when this is set
"dont_create" in make_icons.py should be set to "True" (not sure how
this would be done, perhaps the exception code takes care of this as
it is).

If anybody could spare some of their time and write a patch that takes
care of this I would be _very_ grateful.  You'll need to know some
autotools and some Python in order to get this working (I know
neither, by the way).

Thanks,
Björn
