If anyone wants them... I just wrote a PIL decoder for the icns format, 
took out the Numeric dependency in my Softimage PICT decoder, and 
committed them to my public svn repo:

	http://svn.red-bean.com/bob/icns/trunk/
	http://svn.red-bean.com/bob/SoftimageImage/trunk/

Consider them public domain.  However, the test file in icns is 
copyright Talking Panda LLC and is used with (my) permission :)
