I just found what appears to be a complete icon editing/creating tool
inside HyperCard.  I spent about 3 minutes trying it out, but it didn't
pick up the correct icon for an application whose icon I wanted to edit,
giving me the printer icon instead.  Looks like with a bit longer time,
it would do most everything, including the masks for desktop icons.
