This is a worthy idea, but I have some concerns about this version of the 
patch: 


- I know it is "normal" for MS stuff to call the resource file just 
"resource.h", but it seems suspect to me; we should call it something that 
makes it clearer what it is, even "fluid_resource.h" would be better, IMHO. 
Also, there's cruft in there we do not need for the simple case of adding an 
icon, anyway.


- fluid.rc needs cleaned up, there's a lot of (auto-generated?) extraneous 
cruft in there that we don't need to just add an icon resource to a exe. 
Actually, I'm not certain what's there will even work for any user who does NOT 
have a French domain set on their build machine...


- I can't comment on the patch to fluid.vcxproj; it is probably correct, but 
since I only ever use the mingw tools for WinXX nowadays, I can't tell!


- If we are going to do this, then the provided icon in the 
fluid/icons/fluid.ico folder needs to be improved; it does not have enough of 
the bigger sizes for the modern systems, so looks a bit duff most of the time.
