I didn't say we *should* do it. Simply asking for opinions.

There is no any single .ico file in qtbase (except of ones in
qicoimageformat auto-test) and we don't support -no-ico/-qt-ico/-plugin-ico
configure options, which makes it a good candidate.
There is also just a single .gif file in widgets/movie example, though we
support -no-gif configure option and widgets/movie example never checks if
gif format is really supported.
^ So why bloating qtbase?

Konstantin
