Resource variables in Icon resource

[Malcolm Miles <mgm-ns@tardis.net>]

It appears that you can't include a resource variable in the
specification of an icon resource eg: the following entries in my
resource file do not expand $ARCDIR$ into "tdu" in the icon
specification:

<DefineVar chop>
ARCDIR
tdu
</DefineVar>

<Icons>
    */*;[14x16]/$ARCDIR$/resource/transparent.gif
    multipart/mixed;[14x16]/$ARCDIR$/resource/paperclip.gif
</Icons>

The variable does get correctly expanded in other parts of the
resource file, just not in the icon specification. Is this the
expected behaviour or a bug?
