Actually, it's probably not feasible but my dream icon would involve an otter. Linus Torvalds likes penguins. I like otters. (Not that I am in any way ranking myself with Linus Torvalds) My son drew a picture of an otter holding a floppy once that I had intended to use on the cygwin web page but I lost the picture. :-( I don't know if you can get a recognizable otter in 96x179 but if you can, I'd love to see it.
