thanks, i have to admit i dont fully understand what it fixes since by
itself it doesnt ship much icons, is that mostly because this
'overloads' adwaita and makes it selectable for the end-user ?

(note: i havent made any testing at all)

it can go in x11/ like x11/greybird, having it in x11/xfce4 would make
sense if it'd benefited from the xfce4.port.mk module or from
x11/xfce4/Makefile.inc. meta/xfce can also depend on it if that makes a
better 'out of the box' user experience for icon themes..
