I said "partly rewritten", right? :) 

You're probably right about using QGuiApplication, I notice that ksvg2icns uses that too, so I'll align.

I could imagine it being used in various forms of cross-platform development. Ksvg2icns is built only on Mac because it relies on a platform utility that doesn't exist elsewhere, but png2ico is cross-platform itself.
I can put in a conditional, but as a last step if I want to keep testing until the end ;)

Lacking a MSWin development system I'm not volunteering to update that code.
