It was not created on Vista, but it does contain a PNG icon which Vista 
uses. The problem appears to be that the MS resource compiler checks the 
icon before copying it into the resources (while the MingW one just 
copies it), so you need an up to date resource compiler from the latest 
Windows SDK to use it with modern icons.
