I think this is a bit simplistic. You have to create an icon list resource
with the resouce compiler (RMAKER?) - this is a list of two icons (Type ICN#)
the first of which is the icon, the second is a mask the finder uses to "gray
out" the icon. Then, you have to place the icon list resource into the
application the the rmover. 

Some fun huh?
