Preparing presentations
When preparing these KDE presentation we usually need some artwork from the KDE icons and sometimes I’m too lazy to find them. That won’t happen anymore since I created this really small tool that solves part of this problem 
.
Works like that:
This generates a 128px kalgebra.png file with the KAlgebra icon:
kde-devel@tatilx:~$ kicons kalgebra 128
This generates a 128px kalgebra128.png file with the KAlgebra icon:
kde-devel@tatilx:~$ kicons kalgebra 128 kalgebra128.png
And of course, the real reason to post
Does this tool generate the 128px icons from the SVG sources? This sounds like an incredibly useful tool, perhaps to ship in a development kit (or kde-examples) somewhere.

Nice utility, Aleix!
Nitpicking about the build system, QIcon::fromTheme() was introduced in Qt 4.6.0 so I would include this line in CMakeLists.txt just before find_package(Qt4):
set(QT_MIN_VERSION 4.6.0)
And you can omit qt4_automoc() as there are no new QObjects in the project.

@Diederik: Yes, actually it uses the QIcon facilities so it should choose the version that fits best automatically.
@Pedro: I know, it’s just that I used KDevelop’s template and didn’t bother that much xD. If someone thinks it’s worth distributing somewhere we can make it ready (like putting a README and Lincense at least).

There is a shell script with gui support at kdesupport/oxygen-icons/scalable/ called export_pngs.sh
