You've already figured this out, but for the record: icon libraries are 
just one-card stacks with a bunch of images on the first card. If the 
name begins with "rev" and the stack is placed in your LiveCode library 
folder, then the Icon Library will load it.

The library path is inside the My LiveCode folder (or whichever folder 
you've specified in prefs to hold your customization files,) in 
Resources/Icon Libraries.

It isn't difficult to write a quick script that imports all the images 
in a folder to the first card. Then just name the library stack starting 
with "rev", and pop it into that folder.
