How about some more application icons in the (windows) exe file to differentiate
shortcuts with different command line options.  I have separate shortcuts for
mail and browser, others may have more.  

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Create a windws shortcut to mozilla.exe
2. Right click | Properties | Change Icon


Actual Results:  
I see one icon.

Expected Results:  
A few icons would be better.  They're small and easy.  The secondary icons don't
even have to change with versions.

I nearly rated this as trivial.  It's pretty easy to use an icon from another
program for mail, but it would be NICE to have a genuine mozilla mail icon...

The icons *are* available in the bin/chrome/icons/default directory, but I 
agree that normal Windows behaviour is to add them to the resources for the 
executable.

Confirming on that basis, and changing summary to match.
