If you ask me (and I am not one of the upstream authors so I am only 
giving an advice here), having the 10 or so icons shipped with Padre 
is more reliable as a fallback. Download URLs change.

--with-distribution implies that it would support every distribution 
around, plus solaris, MacOS, M$OS, even Plan9. Much better if is 
implemented as --with-icons-dir=/path instead.
