For what it's worth, I tried it on XP and didn't care for the way it looked
on a dark background. I prefer the current one without color gradients.
As much as I'd like to honor CGF's preference for otters, I think that a
swan or a cygnet (def: young swan) would be more appropriate for CYGwin.

Here it is.
It should work everywhere. I have tested it in XP and ME. In XP it looks
ok, in ME and other OSes that doesn't have alpha channel for icons, it
can look pixelated. I cannot do more, I am not a pixel artist :(
I tried to respect the original Cygwin icon design as much as I could.
The icon is in the sizes commonly used by Windows, but if someone is
interested I have the icon in bigger sizes (up to 72x72).
