                  support filepatterns
                  support newicon-standard (only if installed)

  parameter template:

                  ICON/A/M,P=PALETTE/K,M=MAPCOLORS/S,A=ADDICON/S,
                  D=DEFTOOL/K,I=ICONONLY/S,N=NEWICON/S,Q=QUIET/S


  ICON/A/M        required icon(s) to convert; created
                  brushes will be named <icon>.br1, <icon>.br2


  P=PALETTE/K     filename of the optional palettefile
                  !must be a valid IFF-brush!; if not given,
                  the actual workbench palette/depth is used.

                  eg. i2b mwb.info P=magicwb.pal

                      will use the colours and depth of the
                      file "magicwb.pal" as the palette and
                      depth for the brushes/icons to create.

                  If the depth (n) of the given palette is less
                  than the workbenchscreen, it is necessary to
                  set the first n colours of the screen to the
                  same values as the palettefile uses. In
                  addition to that the next parameter becomes
                  useful:

  M=MAPCOLORS/S   option to map the workbench-colors used by the
                  icon to the given palette: this will eg. map a
                  256-color-icon down to a 16-color-brush for the
                  given 16-color-palette.

                  eg. i2b newicon.info P=newicon.pal M

                      will build brushes from the newicon
                      with the colors set similar to those
                      shown in their actual representation
                      on the workbench.

  A=ADDICON/S     create project-icons for the brushes; the
                  brushes will be their own iconimages.

  D=DEFTOOL/K     if ADDICON is on, the given string is the
                  defaulttool entry of projecticons added to the
                  brushes; if omitted "wbdisplay" will be used.

  I=ICONONLY/S    create a recolored icon-copy only; the original
                  icon is overridden!
                  ADDICON and DEFTOOL are ignored.

                  eg. i2b newicon.info P=magicwb.pal M I

                      will convert the newicon to a magicwb-
                      styled icon.

                  eg. i2b newicon.info M I

                      will convert the newicon to a standard-icon
                      (on a256-color-wb you will see no difference)


  N=NEWICON/S     copy the recolored newicon-images to the
                  icon's standard-images.

                  the original newicon-images are kept!
                  (you will see no difference)

                  ADDICON, DEFTOOL and ICONONLY are ignored
                  non-newicons are skipped

                  eg. i2b newicon.info P=magicwb.pal M N

                      will make the newicon look okay on a
                      magicwb without loosing the newicon

  Q=QUIET/S       shut up and work

                  -----

  known bugs:     palettefile must be a valid IFF-brush - a
                  simple palette is not enough.

                  even totally mad parameters are accepted
                  as icon-filenames and brushes are created
                  from the system's default project icon.

                  had some freezes from time to time, but
                  after all my newicons are changed ...
