I really don't think there's any alternative. I encourage you to try
it now. Go into your Applications folder and Get Info on Address
Book, click the icon, and copy. Now Get Info on the Applications
folder, click the icon, and Paste. A file named Icon\r is created in
the Applications folder, its data fork is empty, and its resource
fork contains an icns resource ID -16455. This was the case when
custom icons were introduced in System 7.0, and it's still the case
in Mac OS X 10.4.2. If you want custom folder icons, you're gonna get
resource-fork-based Icon\r files.
Now, if we're talking about the icon of a bundle, then that's a
different story. For bundles, you've got your Info.plist in which you
list your data-fork-based icon file's name and that's fine. But the
things which are bundles in OS X were regular files in Classic Mac
OS, and you didn't need Icon\r files to give single files custom
icons there either.
