Ok, adding custom icons in a plugin should now be doable as of  
[https://github.com/discourse/discourse/commit/47cbfb14989bcf828c66b211827cb9355214e71a](https://github.com/discourse/discourse/commit/47cbfb14989bcf828c66b211827cb9355214e71a)

So, basically, add the SVG sprites to your plugin, in `plugins/svg-icons`. See [https://raw.githubusercontent.com/discourse/discourse/master/vendor/assets/svg-icons/discourse-additional.svg](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/discourse/discourse/master/vendor/assets/svg-icons/discourse-additional.svg) for an example. Next, register your icon, and you should be good to go.

(I would prefix the icon ids in the plugin, to avoid any potential clash with FontAwesome icon names.)
