Got it!  If you specify SS_REALSIZEIMAGE in the ICON control statement,
then the dialog uses the original size of the icon, rather than to
resize it to something small.  If the icon is an icon set, it uses the
first icon in the set.

Turns out, 256 is too big for the splash screen.  Looking for a nice
size, I found that 1064, the size of the rasterized original icon,
dived by 7 is 152, which looks like the ideal size for the dialog icon.
So I added a 152x152 icon to cygwin.ico, and made it the first icon
in the set.  Here's the result:

Two examples:

Windows 7 non-Aero style: http://cygwin.de/splash-new-2.png
