Version 2.1 of the Icon Theme Toolkit is now available to all users on the eComStation BetaZone. This release includes support for the modified theme format (including the new icons) introduced in ITheme v2.1.

Look for it under the BetaZone "Icon Themes" project. The filename is "itheme_toolkit_21.zip". 
Like previous toolkit releases, this is not particularly polished, and provides little in the way of automation. You still need to manually copy the necessary template files and build scripts to your theme working directory. Hopefully the process is reasonably straightforward.

I have simplified the resources scripts slightly by eliminating the need for copying a few duplicate icons. These are noted in the HTML documentation. (This process is not complete; notably the MMPM icons still need to be copied repeatedly. Further improvements would have
taken considerably more time to implement, and I thought it better to release a usable toolkit ASAP.)

This release includes instructions for building the new "installable theme" (.ITH) package format.
