The BuildApplet paradigm is that you override defaults (for .rsrc files 
on OS9, on OSX .icns and .plist have been added) by putting a file with 
the same basename beside your script.

So, if your script is myapp.py and you drop it on BuildApplet it will 
look for a myapp.icns and use that if available.

That's how it should work, at least, check the source code to make sure 
I actually implemented this:-)
