 starfighter should have a proper app icon in the Finder. The game sets the
 icon once it's running, but in an unusual way: it uses the icon
 "gfx/alienDevice.png" (see init.cpp), but it's not a standalone file in
 the [http://distfiles.macports.org/starfighter/starfighter-1.1-1.tar.gz
 distfile]; rather, it's embedded inside a Quake I- or II-style .pak file
 starfighter.pak along with all the other graphics and sounds. So we need
 to extract this so that we can make an .icns from it. Either we do it
 manually and store it in the files directory, or we do it programmatically
 at build time.

 To do it manually, I've tried using [http://quakestuff.telefragged.com/
 PakExplorer 1.2], but it has an out of memory error trying to read the
 .pak. Maybe it's not a standard Quake I/II .pak file, or maybe PakExplorer
 is broken.

 To do it programmatically, we could try to build an executable that uses
 unpack() (see unpack.cpp).
