How does one read in and display the contents of a .ICO file within
a Win app ? (I realize the normal way is to compile in a .ICO as a resource via 
"rc".)   I want to be able to have  the user specify which .ICO file 
to display at runtime.  I can't seem to find out how to do this in
the literature.
