Just a note: Apple used to have an "Aqua Icon Kit" on their web site, 
which basically included Photoshop files for a generic document icon, a 
generic application icon, a generic plugin icon.

These weren't just the "not defined" icons, but rather they were layered 
(so e.g. the document's "dog ear", the bent edge of the piece of paper 
was on its own layer, so it could throw a shadow on whatever you'd put 
on the paper.

The idea behind this was to give people the opportunity to easily create 
icons for their own icons that at least comply to a minimal part of the 
guidelines and don't look out of place.

Since Jasper will be doing the "not defined" icons anyway, it might be a 
good idea to ask him for generic icon file variants as Photoshop or Gimp 
source files as well, so you can assemble a GNUstep icon kit.

Just my $0.02.
