Corrections and additions to FAQ F0097

[Cook, Garry]

The pngtogd2 usage that you mention below is exactly what was used to
create the gd2 icons. However, I was unaware of the possible issues
associated with creating them on a different box than that which they
are used on. Perhaps if/when I update these in the future I should leave
out the gd2s and add a text file with instructions on converting them...
Thanks for the heads up, I hope you get good use out of the icons.
