[CMake] Setting the and Icon for a Windows Executable

[Michael Jackson]

I was actually looking for the procedure for Qt 4.5. I think I found  
what I need in the CMake sources but in the CMakeSetup.rc file there  
is the following:

IDI_ICON1   ICON  DISCARDABLE  "CMakeSetup.ico"

I grepped for IDI_ICON1 but didn't find anything being defined any  
where. Also, if my icon is located in ${PROJECT_SOURCE_DIR}/Resources/ 
icons/ico/Project.ico what would be the correct way to reference that  
in the .rc file?
