I sit here with a lame & expensive collection, but the little overhead of this 
patch is really not very bad for what we get with it ;) If we remove the 
stuff, we only add one more depency for kdelibs (you could say: optional, but 
I think svg icons are the way to go for the later releases, seems to be much 
more "reusable"). Would vote for let the stuff be where it is now in kdecore.
