32 bits (in GIMP).

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?

Rich.
