## mkfavicon -- convert any image into the FAVICON-format -- by Eugene Reimer, 2007-Apr;
## using ppmtowinicon, which was included with Fedora-linux (is part of netpbm package);
## png2ico is a very similar utility in a separate package (have it also) -- will use it when wanting transparency (see mkfavicon-transparent).
##
## the ppmtowinicon documentation says Microsoft recommends including 16x16 (16-color), 32x32 (16-color), and 48x48 (256-color) images;
## but that seems a waste of bandwidth, as it makes a big file, and most browsers never use anything other than 16x16;
## I made nativeorchid's favicon.ico that way (except for max 64-colors?), for a filesize of 3638 bytes;
## making it with only the first two image-sizes, yields a filesize of 1078 bytes;
## using only a 16x16 image, yields a filesize of 318 bytes;  (these filesizes are independent of image complexity)
##
## if input image is smaller than 32x32, then makes only the 16x16 size;  otherwise makes both 16x16 and 32x32 sizes, each in 16-colours.
