Include build tools in repo

[clintonhalpin]

Hi!

I am super curious to hear about your build process for this icon library, I would imagine that you have an awesome tool to output all of the different formats and css files. Maybe you could check the build stuff in or create a blog post?

Our build process for the icons is currently a number of scripts that call out to npm modules, but we'll investigate documenting the setup somewhere. At some point it might indeed be useful to host them in the repo or somewhere more visible once we've figured out a clean way of separating out anything internal from them :)

Makes sense thanks @addyosmani

We are using awesome Material font icons in our project. But we are adding custom icons as .svg It would be great to have an ability to put custom .svg image to a folder , run a CLI script and get fonts as an output.

@addyosmani Hi! Any progress on this?

We wish to package this font for Debian @Natureshadow @edhelas and for this we need to know how the various files under iconfont/ are generated, so we can (re)build the entire font from its source code (which we assume is all the other files in the repository).

So, please do provide this information. Thanks!
