imported it into Iconographer, and chose 'complete icon' from the

acceptable to Rev at build time, but doesn't look good on Vista, and
behaves as if some sizes are missing (they're not, as far as I can
tell).
Iconographer has been unsupported for years now, and has a
significant bug that clips some icons off halfway. I had to stop
using it. Except for a commercial Photoshop plugin that you have to
purchase, I don't know of any good Mac utilities that will create
suitable Windows icons for Rev. If anyone knows, I'd love to know
too. But creating icons in Windows is easy using a Windows-native
icon editor, and if you are developing for Windows anyway then it
isn't hard to just do the icons over there.

I just got a Windows laptop, so I guess that I will use it to make my
icon using the app that Jacque recommended. But what happened to
"write once and compile for multiple platforms" when you need
separate computers to make the apps look right? I don't buy the
excuse that some kind of "improvement" makes Rev 4 unable to do as
good a job with an icon as Rev 3.5 did. That is not an improvement in
my mind, and I hope that the Rev developers don't think so either.
