Description
This patch changes the rdef header to one that can be used by Haiku's build system. AFAICT, the current header is broken -- due the opening curly brace occuring within the comment -- resource(<your resource id here>) #'VICN' array {

Invalid, according to Stephan on IRC.

And here is why it is invalid:
- #'VICN' is the same as vector_icon. We could use the latter for better readability, maybe
- The # is not starting a comment, but the tag for a raw 4 character type
- You do need to set a resource ID, and the patch wrongly remove that part

A bit differently. The export from I-O-M is supposed to let you define your own resource ID (and help you with the rdef syntax). "vector_icon" is a shortcut that was added later to rc (?) and it not only sets the array type (#'VICN'), but also the resource ID to one that is reserved for file icons (IIRC). And that is what I don't like about the patch.
Also, I don't understand why there is any problem in the first place. I use this declaration for example in the HaikuDepot rdef file, and there are no problems, are there?

... maybe someone forgot to actually change the "<your resource id here>" part for an actual ID and thought the syntax is broken?
LGTM. Anyone see a reason not to apply this?
