For a long time during the Gotham Beta and for a while after Gotham (at least until 13.1 I'm sure) I was able to compile my own custom versions on Mac OS 10.6.8 with XCode 3.2.6, however in the last couple of months I've noticed that any release build I do no longer gets an App icon and displays the default paper and pencils icon... 
Digging into it a bit further the problem appears to be the use of the iconutil command in xbmc/tools/darwin/Support/copyframeworks-osx.command to convert the icon:
The problem is, the iconutil command doesn't exist in XCode 3.2.6! From what I can find out it wasn't introduced until XCode 4.5 which requires Mountain Lion. This means compiling on Snow Leopard or Lion will no longer produce an App icon in the compiled application.
Just wondering if any devs are aware of this, since XCode 3.2.6 on OS X 10.6.8 is still specifically listed as a supported build configuration in the 13.2 docs...
I'm also a little puzzled as to when this change occurred - if I checkout older snapshots such as 13.0 which I'm certain I built successfully in the past they too still have the iconutil command in the build script... or is the build script installed as a build dependency rather than being a checked in file ? (eg do I have to re-compile all the build dependencies ? That takes over an hour on this machine so I wasn't keen to try it to find out)
Is there an alternative to the iconutil command or are those of us compiling on 10.6 and 10.7 just stuck manually copying the xbmc.icns file from the official release into the application bundle ?
