rem Why:
rem There are lots of tools/snippets/online converters etc. to convert a .SVG file to an icon file.
rem But they did not provide an easy way to simply do it "good" for a Windows executable icon.
rem A Windows executable icon must contain some not-well-defined sizes and formats to be compatible across different Windows versions. 
rem Sometime ago I created an icon for TiddlyWikiWatcher ( https://github.com/MircoBabin/TiddlyWikiWatcher ) that seems to work.
rem I wanted to use the same sizes&formats for a new icon.
rem That is when SvgToWindowsExecutableIcon.bat was born.
