My latest patch set (http://source.winehq.org/patches/data/61966,
http://source.winehq.org/patches/data/61967,
http://source.winehq.org/patches/data/61968,
http://source.winehq.org/patches/data/61969,
http://source.winehq.org/patches/data/61970) moves all icon generation
in winemenubuilder to use windowscodecs and only outputs PNG icons.
This should make it pretty easy to add ICNS icon support.

If you're going to test this before it gets committed, be sure to also
grab http://source.winehq.org/patches/data/61940 which fixes a nasty
bug in windowscodecs that corrupts many paletted ICO files. I think
this was the cause of the image corruption and RGB/BGR issue Steven
reported in his experiments with windowscodecs in early February.

Jörg can you test whether you still get icons with black backgrounds
with these patches?
