The way that the finder handles the icon mask in the latest system software
has changed.  Previously it did an XOR with the mask to show the selected
icon.  However this is not so anymore.  Does anyone know what the actual
alogorithm is now.

Tech Note 55 talks about how icons are drawn, however that is the old way
(XOR) and I couldn't find any latter tech notes.
