Re: 1.7: mintty 5.5.1 refuses to take hippos seriously ;-(

What happens if you do:

$ mintty --icon=/Cygwin.ico -
works!

I suspect this is related to an issue reported before with the hippo icon (I assume it's the one Chuck mentioned in a previous email?). I don't remember the exact details, but I remember Vista not liking the icon unless it was embedded in a dll (which Chuck subsequently uploaded).

To use it, try:

mintty --icon=/cygicons-hippo-vista-0.dll,10

which will get you the hippo icon.

 $ find /[a-ce-quv]* -name cygicons-hippo-vista-0.dll
 Google: cygicons-hippo-vista-0.dll
 Google: cygwin hippo icon dll

all reveal NADA!

What am I missing?
