[Mono-list] Questions about cross-platform program icon

[Stifu]

Alright, thanks for the info!
I guess that leaves Mac out of the equation for me, at least for now, as
it'd require me to make a whole little package and be able to test it. So,
if I'm not mistaken, the Mac program with a nice icon would be some kind of
shortcut that'd open and run the real executable, basically.
