There was some talk about windows ico utilities in December.  This was
about packaging png2ico.

I mentioned then that winicontoppm and ppmtowinicon from the netpbm
package could already do the job.

Icoutils was mentioned then too.

I think one of the then available packages can make multi-image .ico
files, because I remember having done that with standard installed
packages.

The bug number is 173050.

I have not rechecked the current status of the packages involved.

Ciao.                                                         Vincent.
