The recent kdewin-tools package version 0.5.7 installs a related cmake
config files, which exports the required cmake png2ico target

# Create imported target png2ico
add_executable(png2ico IMPORTED)

Also KDE4_ADD_APP_ICON tries to find png2ico using find_program from the
system ysearch path which is set by the build system on windows.
