The information handed out at the recent developer's
conference indicates that it won't be cicns, but
a new format that minimizes the amount of info stored
in the Desktop file.

'ics4'	4 bit deep 16 x 16 icon
'ics8'  8 bit deep 16 x 16 icon
'icl4'  4 bit deep 32 x 32 icon
'icl8'  8 bit deep 32 x 32 icon

These must have the same resource id as the 'ICN#'
that is in the BNDL. They use the appropraite 'clut'
resources found in the ROM.
