Further to those two, here's one with the glowy Cygwin symbol all the
way from size 16 to 64. It's a "remastered" version of the one in
cygutils; a bit bigger and with the aforementioned brighter green
outline around the "C".

(256x256 versions of these aren't really worth doing, because the
original fatbuttlarry icon was only 96x96, and that had a fair bit of
space around the C.)
