Update to icon.library 46.4.490:

A new test candidate: TC020, which supports TrueColor for the OS4 ARGB icons. It can display in TrueColor with alpha channel and save in OS4 format now, but PNG is not supported yet. PNG may come later, since it's a bit more difficult to integrate. The other versions like 68020 have no new features. The icon scaling is not supported in TrueColor quality, because that would need a zlib compression routine.

Due to a bug in AfA_OS the new created OS4 icons may not be displayed by AfA's icon_lib.exe. AfA tries to read the ARGB image size from the DiskObject Gadget structure instead of taking the width-1 and height-1 values from the FORM chunk. AfA also makes ARGB icons unreadable for OS4 when the Gadget size is different to the ARGB image size. I don't want to make a work around for AfA in this case, because that would need a wrong gadget size.
