If you're delivering the icon as part of a package, all the other files
in that package are identified by hash.  The hash helps the installer
determine whether the content of a file has changed.  It won't
re-download files that are the same between one build and another.

Our publishing tools are able to calculate a hash for files when they
construct a manifest.  This hasn't made publishing difficult at all.
