# Favicon and Apple Touch Icon Generator
#
# This bash script takes an image as a parameter, and uses ImageMagick to convert it to several
# other formats used on modern websites. The following copies are generated:
#
# * apple-touch-icon-114x114-precomposed.png
# * apple-touch-icon-57x57-precomposed.png
# * apple-touch-icon-72x72-precomposed.png
# * apple-touch-icon-precomposed.png
# * apple-touch-icon.png
# * favicon.ico
#
# Concept from http://bergamini.org/computers/creating-favicon.ico-icon-files-with-imagemagick-convert.html
