When an IE (urk!) user tries to bookmark this site this icon file is
requested to put next to the bookmark in their 'Favourites'. I was
tempted to put a "Download Netscape Now!" icon in it's place :P
Upon failing to find favicon.ico in the current directory, it usually
tries the root (/) of the site aswell.
