I just remembered this idea and I still think it would be great if we
could use deutex and imagemagick to extract (and resize) possible icons
from the WAD data that we are going to package.

For most Doom-compatible games/WADs the best candidate should be
graphics/titlepic or graphics/interpic, or maybe a mugshot as has been
suggested for Chex Quest.

Any plans to implement this?

Cheers,
