thank you for your detailed explanation. First of all, let me remark that building under MSYS and running under Wine is a pretty niche scenario for an already niche application IMHO, which limits the amount of maintenance burden I would be willing to carry for this.
What I could do to make the above scenario simpler is using the alias function of Qt's resource system [1] to reference the icons with a format-independent name in the application so that patching the source would be unnecessary. Converting the icons and patching the QRC file however does not look out of place in a packaging script IMHO. What do you think about this?
