[bug#61010] [PATCH] gnu: Add icewm

[Andy Tai <atai@atai.org>]

I just untar'd the

 icewm-3.3.0.tar.lz
(from https://github.com/ice-wm/icewm/releases/download/3.3.0/icewm-3.3.0.tar.lz)

file (not tar.gz file, my bad for bad description before), in a clean
directory, and
the .gmo files are there
/share/software/icewm/icewm-3.3.0$ !find
find . -name *.gmo
./po/zh_CN.gmo
./po/pt_BR.gmo
./po/sk.gmo
./po/en.gmo
...

As we are getting the release tarball as the source, the git repo is
immaterial as far as this icewm version is concerned.
