IconKit implements option 2) currently, I just need to do some work to 
add icons themes support (by taking in account Camaelon I think).
… And for compatibility, I plan to add a NSWorkspace category in a 
bundle which overrides the NSWorkspace icons related methods to use the 
IconKit when it is installed.
May be it is better to use -poseAs: but I'm not sure… I don't know 
what's happen when you call two times -poseAs: on a class like 
NSWorkspace, is the current posed class correctly overridden or is it 
discarded ?
