I was thinking the other way around. My extension wants to provide 
different icons, depending on the installed skin. t3skin author doesn't 
know or doesn't care about my module. So in my ext I have:

typo3conf/ext/myext/icons/t3skin/module_icon.gif
typo3conf/ext/myext/icons/t3skin/ ... other "t3skin-like" icons
...
typo3conf/ext/myext/icons/default/module_icon.gif
typo3conf/ext/myext/icons/default/ ... other icons (fallback) ...

Any standard way to output the correct icons depending on which skin is 
installed? That could be used for the "version" sysext, which seem to 
provide the old fashioned "cm_icon.gif" which doesn't fit the t3skin.

Cheers,
Ernesto
