wine users - Sep 2010 - How does Wine extract icons?

I've researched on Google, Wine's wikki and Wine's forum, but I did
not find how exactly does Wine to extract the icons from the exe binaries. The
only thing that I've found are mentions to third party programs, but
anything about Wine itself. May anyone bring some light about the subject?

Thanks.

Wine actually does that?  must be a Linux thing?  I always have to manually pull
them out using other apps for OSX.

Wine extracts icons using the windows API, which it also happens to
implement. The code for this (based on windows libraries) is in
winemenubuilder:

there is no winemenubuilder for Macs.. is why I haven't seen this I guess. 
Macs using vanilla Wine its all command line only.

thanks for the info though.

Thank you very much, madewokherd.

Do you know if this can be used through the command line? When one installs a
win32/64 program, wine does extract the icons, but sometimes there is no
installation program, which is one of the cases where one would like to use this
extraction method.

Use icoutils:

Wow, madewokherd! You're awesome. Thank you again.

Addys, I was looking for something closer to what madewokherd posted, but your
link will be surely useful. Thanks.
