Freewrap can include image file. Either simply:
freewrap my_main.tcl some_image.gif some_image.jpg
or include a list of images & dependency packages in a file and use the
-f option:
freewrap another_of_my_main.tcl -f includes.txt
A quick way to generate the includes file is:
dir /s /b c:\path\to\my\images\ > includes.txt
then simply edit the generated file to remove unused images. This can
also be done for including packages. For example, to include tcllib:
dir /s /b c:\tcl\lib\tcllib1.7\ > tcllib_includes.txt
This works with all pure tcl packages including bwidget and tcllib.
Packages with dlls can't be included this way. But your winico package
is already compiled into freewrap so you don't have to include it.

with freewrap you don't have to. It automagically looks for the wrapped
images if it can't find it on disk.
