Nice to ear, I'll will take time to provide a patch in order to make
the working change go upstream.

I would say that you'll have to put the icon file in your source tree
and to install it with

INSTALL(FILE myicon.svg DESTINATION share/icons)

Then regarding the creation of the link and the "freedesktop file" I don't
know. How does it works? Should you create some sort of special link
to the SVG file?
Do you need to create the "freedesktop file" at installation time,
the concerned will then refer to the installed icon file?

Could you explain us (or point the appropriate documentation)
on how the "freedesktop file" should work?

Like I said I would put the file in the source tree and then

INSTALL(FILE ....) it with appropriate path.

I bet CPack won't do it but the package used should, in this case RPM
I think it would be a post-install script to be embedded in the RPM.

I have to look into this but if you need such "pre/post install scripts" I bet
the current CPackRPM won't be enough you'll have to patch it to suit
those needs.

We may discuss this and propose appropriate patches to CMake developper.

Whatever the solution how would you "update the icon cache" "by hand",
is there some command to launch?

Same question as before.
