I guess we disagree about the definitions of these.  Me, I don't see
how not seeing a smalll icon in a build that was never supported by
Emacs until now can be a bug.

If it were a simple fix, perhaps.  But it isn't, and it touches 2
other builds, that don't have this problem, in non-trivial ways.

If you insist on having this in 24.3, then please at least make it
Cygwin-only.  For the source changes, this is easy -- use #ifdef.  For
emacs.rc, I hope you can do the same.  If not, I'd go as far as
providing a separate cygw32.rc file.

The MSDOS problems are on me -- you will owe me ;-)

OK?
