IMO, that's killing a mosquito with a shotgun :).

You can use -[NSImage initWithIconRef:] if you only support 10.5 and 
later.  On 10.4 and earlier you can use -[NSWorkspace 
iconForFileType:NSFileTypeForHFSTypeCode(kSomeIconCode)] if you only 
need a 32x32 icon, but it's only a few lines of code to draw an 
IconRef to an NSImage of the appropriate size.
