[erlang-patches] hi-res windows icon

[unknown]

The Windows erlang application icon looks a little blocky, especially when
you have the text size turned up, so I added some higher resolution images.

I grabbed the image from http://www.erlang.org/doc/ , and used
paint.netand icofx to add true color 256x256, 48x48, and 32x32 images
to the icon.

I implanted this icon into werl.exe using icofx; I am not prepared to
figure out compiling Erlang on Windows. See attached comparison of old and
new.

It is on the fuzzy side and could use some hand-crafting from an actual
artist, but I find this one less jarring than the old one.

Patch below...

Dan.

Thank you for the contribution.

If it all still works I do not see any problems with including this.

Hello,

A new version of the icon has now been merged to master and will be part
of the next release. We made some additional modifications to the icon
to make it look even prettier!
