Well, slim to nil with the current toolbar code - it's sad that Windows
doesn't provide a nice GTK-like way of sharing a standard (and
changeable) icon set that we could just use to respect user defaults.
This seems to be more touchy than I expected, so let me reassure people
this is just an offhand thought, and nowhere close to becoming reality.
(Last time I tried to change the icon set on my own build I just broke
the icons, so I'm not about to try again soon unless I get a lot of free
time gifted to me.)
