Subject: Getting arbitrary Icons from files

I would like to be able to load arbitrary Icons and manipulate
them in a utility I am writing. The SDK routines support Icon 
loading for _known_ resources, but I can't seem to find how to
access _unknown_ icon resources.

That is, LoadIcon requires the icon name or int resource id. 
FindResource, on the other hand, works with accelerators, bitmaps,
dialogs, fonts, fontdirs, menus, and user data, but not icons.
Should I be treating icon data as user data somehow?

Also, there are some undocumented functions for handling icons:
LoadIconHandler, GetIconId, LoadDibIconHandler; any idea how to
use any of these?

... wondering in netland,

Sven
