I updated the patch - on win32 it is already working.

In the mac osx part i added code to extract the 128'er icon and made it 
more like the win32 part - hope it does not break something else. Can 
you test the mac os x part ?

BTW: In the patch I changed the signature to

KDE4_ADD_APP_ICON(<target> <source-variable> <icon-path-pattern> )

which looks better for me. This is a personal opinion and if there are 
reasons to use the previous proposal i have no problems to change it back.
