Not sure, but why don't you take a look at the Tcl/Tk sources? I'm pretty sure they link in icons for cygtclsh80.exe and cygwish80.exe (at least, the programs show an icon other than the ugly default one.) The makefile should offer some clues on how to link an icon in. Another good program to look at is the Setup application. The sources for it are in either 'cygwin' or 'common' (I don't remember at the moment.) The Cygwin setup program would show you how to link a straight Win32 application (i.e. cygwin.dll isn't linked to.) The sources for tcltk are available at any Cygwin mirror.
