Nice. :)

For SBCL itself it would be probably better to attach the icon using
the generated MSI.

  http://wix.sourceforge.net/manual-wix2/wix_xsd_icon.htm

Shows how to do this. I'm not sure about others, but I don't have a Win32
build environment set up currently, so for things like this it would be
nice to have a screenshot that shows what the thing looks like.
