It got a *lot* frendlier in this regard ;)

jhbuild is an easy solution; taking gtk-update-icon-cache sources from 
cvs and
building it without gtk is even easier.

I actually thought gtk-2.10 has new option (--force), never checked it 
really, but
I would be surprised if it wasn't true. Note that argv[1] is taken after 
argv is passed
through GOption stuff, i.e. argv[1] is first non-option argument *after* 
checking
command line options. It's tested - I am using debian, and I use 
separately built
gtk-2.10 for linux (not a huge problem since I do want to test new gtk) 
to build
gtk-2.10 for windows.
