OK, so where in time are the Macintosh and Windows icons used for the answer
dialog?

One (992) is located in the Icon Chooser stack.  The Motif icons are there
too.  But the remaining Mac icons and all the Windows icons appear to be out
in the IDE ether somewhere (ids: 993,994,995,996,997,998,999).

Who's a good detective here?

OK, next point: appearance.  Yes, it could be nice to make the answer dialog
icons spiffy like the latest OS appearances, but what happens if you build
for Win98 or Mac OS9?  In these cases, it seems the old icons are a good
enough fit for those systems.  Should a new set of icons be used when modern
OS's are in play?  Should the answer dialog be "intelligent" to know that
"if the systemVersion > x, then use icons abc"?
