No, they're not for each of the programs (e.g. Notepad). It's just .icns
files for the wine-glass and the wine-glass overlayed on the terminal icon
and overlayed on a window icon. I have this window icons assocated with
.exe files on my machine, this terminal icon associated with .bat and .com
files, and this wine-glass icon associated with the actual wine program.

They're good for default icons, nothing more, but they do help me easily
see what is associated with wine.
