I like that plan.  One problem: I suck at naming things.  Anyone have
any ideas?

Possibly salient information: this was created by Everaldo Coelho in
2004 as the default icon theme for Kopete (named "Default").  It has
that "shiny" look that was popular around then (similar to CrystalSVG).

Note that kemoticons looks for themes in the generic
"$XDG_DATA_DIRS/emoticons" directories, so I don't really want to call
it "Default".

(As a side-note, this generic location is possibly a bit presumptuous
without any xdg involvement, even if there is a draft spec [0]).

Done; I split the pics/ directory into three separate entries.
