RE: Custom icons per window class/name patch

["Earle F. Philhower III" <earle at ziplabel dot com>]

Howdy Ralf et. al.,

It wasn't too bad starting from Ralf's code to grab the pixmap info from
the WM_HINTS property to getting working X icons.  The attached patch is 
against
the test86 release.  It converts icons in the WM_HINTS into dynamic Windows
HICONs with masks and resizing.

I've tested it against a few apps and it seems to work 100% for icon sizes of
32x32 and 48x48, and in 8, 16, and 32 bit displays under Win2K.  24-bit and
non-square icons and icons <32x32 need to be tested, but should work...
