Well, my solution would have been to modify only a bound executable: adding
the icon resource and modifying the header appropriately.  But Brian
Jackson raised the point of violating the license agreement by making such
modifications.

Rob: do you consider such a modification to a bound executable a violation
of the license agreement?  I'd rather not start such a project if it is
forbidden.  I'd also like to hear your take on the suggestion of adding a
modifiable icon resource to exw.exe (or perhaps your own solution built
into bind.ex).

Thanks,
Brian
