The idea, i have some of icons in a package, sometime i redesign it, i
forget to recall lazres, i put batch file for it, but it is not bad idea to
when compiling the package it also call lazres automatically for it.

It is not that necessary feature, so you can ignore it, but how can i make
it without touch the Lazarus source, Is Addons allow me to do that?
