You can always drop them in, on your own site. :)

To use them in relation to this project would pretty much limit the module to the flags made available there though, as it's a bit more trouble to create a flag icon in this style, compared to the current one - and it's currently only using ISO 3166-1 codes, meaning that languages not in that set (e.g., Scots ("sco")) won't be included at all.

An option might be to provide several sets and let the user/admin decide which set to use for their site?

Marked #246518: More flags: found a source as a duplicate. That issue also noted that the Esperanto flag isn't among the available icons.

Alright, here are thoughts on how to do this; I was thinking something a bit fancy, yet very, very simple as it wouldn't require any change to the backend...

Icon file set:
( ) Default, plain icons
( ) Shiny icons from famfamfam.com
(*) Custom set...
Path to custom set: [_______________]

Where the path will only be visible when "custom" is chosen, and the two other options will really just be shorthand for drupal_get_path('module', 'languageicons') .'/flags/*.png' and drupal_get_path('module', 'languageicons') .'/flags/famfamfam/*.png'. So the path will still be stored in languageicons_path as it is now, the only difference is that this value would only be exposed if one chooses to use different icons than those presented.

Please let me know if this sounds like crazy talk.
