windmill icon

use case
Icon to represent windmills. Windmills can be useful to map as they are typically one of the only prominent, vertical structures around, or can have some sort of historical importance

tagging information
Maki field = { man_made: 'windmill' }
OSM tag info for windmill

possible symbol
Using an older windmill design for the icon would be fun, but depending on the percentage is between old, defunct mills and newer ones, a newer windmill silhouette might make more sense.

Please note that man_made=windmill is used for historical windmills only while the modern electricity producing "windmills" are tagged differently: https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Tag:man_made%3Dwindmill
