The default versions of the icons should be embedded into the resource section 
of System.Drawing.dll (overrides for user-specific icons should be handled 
via resources, not a separate filesystem mechanism).

We actually already have the icons, but dummy that I am, I put them into 
System.Windows.Forms instead (to support MessageBox) because I completely 
forgot about SystemIcons.

The easiest thing to do would be to move the icons down into System.Drawing 
and modify MessageBox to use SystemIcons.  See the Forms *.build file for 
details on how to embed an icon resource into an assembly.  And the 
MessageBox class (search for "hand.ico") for the details on how to load such 
icons at runtime.

Rhys.
