1. binding an icon to an executable?

How do i bind an icon to an executable file? I'm using the translator. I'm
pretty sure its done at compile time, correct? I looked through the source
files, and found nothing. I think this should be provided in the docs for
the source. I also think this should be an option in the translator, since
it's an option in the binder. Such as:

    ecw myfile.exw -icon:"myicon.ico"

or at least tell my how to do this!

Wolfgang Fritz has examples of this sort of thing
using the Translator and various C compilers.

Basically, you just need an .rc file, which specifies:
IDAPPLICON   ICON    your_icon.ico
... and a way to link the (created) resource to your .exe.

If I've got the spelling right, here's some examples:
