DWT Windows Load Icon from File/Program/Resource

[JamesD via Digitalmars-d-dwt]

I'm a hobbyist and new to the D language.  With a lot of help 
from various online resources, I finally figured out how to load 
an icon from:

   1. A file "icon.ico" (this was easy)
   2. A Program extension from the Windows registry, e.g. "*.inf" 
(harder)
   3. A linked resource from the exe itsself (very hard)

I learned how to add an icon to the exe with a compiled Resource 
file.
Now I can load this embedded icon as the shell icon.
And I don't have to distribute a separate ico file with  my exe.
I added a couple of simple bat files to compile with either dmd 
or dub.

I hope this helps another newbie like me.
Constructive feedback is welcome.
