Uurrgghhhh. I'm quite sure there used to be programs to generate and manipulate ICO files from Linux but I can't find any at the moment. It doesn't necessarily matter if all the icons are combined into a single file or not, because i686-pc-mingw32-windres combines everything into a single resource object (a COFF object file) which gets linked to the final executable. Suggest that we add the patch & icons as-is and let people who use Vista and/or are graphic designers deal with this in the future?
