Being able to load icns-format icon files would be *great*. Being
able to save them too would be *fantastic*.

The winicon plugin might be a useful base for general behavior;
like Windows icon resources, icns resources may contain multiple
images in various formats and sizes.

Unfortunately winicon is pretty old; it needs to be updated for
Gimp 2.0, and I can't even get configure to run on my Mac.

    Bumping priority as this would be darn handy.

    Current version of winicon is in the main gimp distribution. :P

    Have hacked the winicon in gimp cvs to work on PowerPC now; its save
    interface is quite nice. Not quite sure how to adapt it though, as Mac
    icons share a single transparency mask for each size across all bit
    depths except 32-bit. Bleah!

    Also, need to get the default 4- and 8-bit palettes to add support for
    those depths, since unlike Windows .ico files a palette isn't included.
