	I would like to animate the icon of a minimised window. I guess
	this can be done by continually changing the hIcon of the
	window class. So what I did is to set a timer, and upon the
	reception of WM_TIMER, I check if the window is iconic. If it
	is, I use SetClassWord to change the hicon.

	problem : the dang thing doesn't seem to be working.
	can someone give me an idea on how to go about implementing it ?
	am I on the wrong track ? I've check the API, and there doesn't seem
	to be a function for this purpose.

	Thanx in advance.
