This is more or less some remaining stuff from the first prototype of mobile 
applications. I believe it is no longer really in active use.

In fact, my plan was to have another look at what is in kirigami2 to 
automatically download the breeze icon at build time. This way, they are 
always up to date. The problem with that is that some packagers will want it 
to work without network access. I have to check how this is playing with 
release tar generation.

All in all, the situation may be better with the new Action component in qt 
quick controls v2. At least for the controls, it should be possible to remove 
the Image components and use standard icons.
