Yes, that is a kludge, because SOIL2 has a build system that does not even 
come with a make install target. Solution: replace broken build system by 
automake.

fontawesome has the strange habit of shipping their fonts in several parts, so 
I merged their fonts into one. The open question is how to ship this font for 
people who build from source. Probably in a github repository.

Fixed.  It's now called md-box, to be unambiguous.

I'll look into that.

Needs '>screen' to be activated.
