patch

Seems to be a missing functionality. I want to set an icon from RC file. I cant pass MAKEINTRESOURCE(X) string to SDL_RegisterApp() cause string returned by MAKEINTRESOURCE string is not actually a string and SDL_strlen will crash. Moreover LoadImage seems to be loading wrong icon size. LoadIcon seems to be fine.

I too wish for something of the sort, and apparently so do n amount of stackoverflow and github gisters. We need a standard way to do this for the windows platform.

I added two hints, one for the large and one for the small icon:
SDL_HINT_WINDOWS_INTRESOURCE_ICON
SDL_HINT_WINDOWS_INTRESOURCE_ICON_SMALL
