The icons are defined in etc/afpd/desktop.c and icon.h. desktop.c
contains the 'demon' icon and icon.h contains the various generic volume
icons.

I'm not sure exactly what format they are in, but bear in mind that if you
look at an icon resource in ResEdit there is normally a small and large
version of an icon at each of three colour depths (1 bit, 4bit, 8bit).
There is also a transparency mask at both sizes which IIRR is common to
all the colour depths.
