Well, I'm on the block for this one, because I'm the one that suggest
he put it there :-)
My thinking was this:
- Not really appropriate for the base system, since it requires
libppm, etc. (i.e. you have to install the PPM stuff from
pkgsrc to use it).
- It's more something that developers might use maybe once in
a while to create an ASCII file (which is the CHRP icon
format; it's an SGML type) which might then be subsequently
checked into the tree.
