I would think that you might be able to write an 'add icon resource' hack
using Euphoria.  All you need is the format of a Windows EXE (which I have
easily found) and add the bits necessary to include an icon resource.  Now
I'm sure somebody has thought of this approach before...  is it not that
simple?  Will the interpreter refuse to run with this kind of modification
to the executable?  If somebody else thinks this may be possible then I
just may take a stab at it...

Having resources built into Euphoria that can be edited would obviously be
easier to deal with but would that truely be necessary?
