For the record, I now have a vendetta against svg files - especially
since the online tools I found refused to open that one, since they
were built off of an earlier version of Batik (the OSS implementation,
by Apache, of an svgToraster image manipulator).  The image needs to
be in .icns format - a format specific to Mac OS X.  I converted
bibletime.svg into a jpeg, converted that into a .icns file, and it
largely works, but not quite completely.  It shows properly in Finder
with the icon (and some more modifications to CMakeLists.txt)
installed, but after being opened, the .icns file is apparently
incomplete, as the image then turns to the default "there is no
image"-image.  Does someone have a commercial/robust means of
converting either the .svg or a .jpg of this into a good, valid and
complete .icns file?  If so, contact me off-list so I can get it
working.

I don't have Linux at my fingertips anymore to check and see if it is
a Mac-only problem or not.  You'll have to get someone else to look
into that.
