I did some research on PGFILEDESC and it does what I thought it does ---
in embeds the 'ico' file into the executable in
/pg/tools/msvc/Project.pm, and the image looks like the attached JPEG.
The image is of a blue elephant head.
So, currently, every binary uses that icon, except for the postmaster.
Is that what we want? You could make the argument that a daemon, like
the postmaster, shouldn't have one, which I think is Tom's point.
