           Irrlicht .ICO & .CUR archive loader v1.0
                    (c) Gaz Davidson 2009
-----------------------------------------------------------------
1. Introduction
-----------------------------------------------------------------

This is an ICO/CUR file loader, implemented as an archive loader 
for the Irrlicht Engine 1.6 and above. 

After adding this loader to the filesystem you can add a Windows
icon (*.ico) or cursor (*.cur) to the filesystem like opening a
zip file. This will add a list of TGA and PNG files to the VFS.

The file names are in the format: "%s.%d.%d.%s", name, i, ext
where: 
  name is the name of the archive
  i is the index of the icon
  ext is the file extension (either TGA or PNG)

The TGA files are converted from BMP/ICO format with a separate
alpha channel, you need the TGA writer, plus the BMP and PNG 
loaders to be able to read icons in all ICO files.

2. Example
-----------------------------------------------------------------

/*
  Windows users:
    Copy the directory to Irrlicht's examples dir, double click 
    the VC9 project file, compile and run.

  Linux users:
    The makefile assumes Irrlicht 1.6 is installed as a shared 
    object. To do this, cd to Irrlicht's source dir and type:
    
    make clean
    make sharedlib
    sudo make install

    Then return to this directory and type make.
*/

// create an instance of the loader 
io::CArchiveLoaderICO* icoLoader = 
  new io::CArchiveLoaderICO(fs, driver);

// add it to the filesystem
fs->addArchiveLoader(icoLoader);

// we created it with new, so we must drop it.
icoLoader->drop();

// now we can add an .ICO archive to the filesystem
fs->addFileArchive("bitplane.ico");

// and load an icon from it
video::ITexture* tex = driver->getTexture("bitplane.ico.2.tga");

Written by Gaz Davidson (gaz@bitplane.net)

Thanks to Wikipedia's page on icons for documenting the file
format.

Thanks to GIMP's icon loader plugin source code, which was used
as a reference rather than copied, as I didn't want to adhere to
the GPL. Thanks to the guys in #GIMP for pointing me in the right
direction.

Thanks to www.axialis.com, where I stole SamplePNG.ico from. You
don't have permission to use this icon!

And of course thanks to the rest of the Irrlicht dev team, this
code sits on top of Irrlicht.
