You're right, I made that change yesterday and decided later that I could just as well pretend SVG support also already works on MS Windows. Like this it will as soon as `ecm_add_app_icon` can handle SVG files on MS Windows.

That would allow feature parity for `ecm_add_app_icon` on MSWin, but I would need someone else to test it (I don't have a MSWin dev system).
