Pulling PNGs from ICO files.

I created the following two Borne scripts for doing this.  This first only pulls the images with a palette of 24 or 32 bits.  The second pulls them all.

#!/bin/sh
# Run this in to top level of the directory set of the ICOs
# you want to extract.echo Creating folders to hold the PNGs pulled from the ICO files.
# Only PNGs with a color pallete of 24 or greater will be extracted.
echo Creating folders to hold the PNGs pulled from the ICO files.
find . -depth -name "*.ico" -exec mkdir {}.dir \;
echo Pulling the PNGs from the ICO files.
find . -depth -name "*.ico" -exec icotool -p 0 -o {}.dir  -x '{}' \;

#!/bin/sh
# Run this in to top level of the directory set of the ICOs
# you want to extract.
echo Creating folders to hold the PNGs pulled from the ICO files.
find . -depth -name "*.ico" -exec mkdir {}.dir \;
echo Pulling the PNGs from the ICO files.
find . -depth -name "*.ico" -exec icotool -o {}.dir  -x '{}' \;

There is no longer a doc folder for icotool.  Everything has been moved to the man page.  I learned this reading through the release notes here:  http://www.nongnu.org/icoutils/NEWS
