Comment(by Denis-de-Bernardy):

 if a user has has own favicon file, he probable doesn't want the WP
 favicon to overwrite his own. so this ought to be fixed at the php level.
 :-)

 Personally, I'm picturing something like... at the very beginning of the
 main request:

 http://core.trac.wordpress.org/browser/trunk/wp-
 includes/classes.php?rev=11930#L488


 {{{
 if preg_match favicon_request
   then if $file = apply_filters('wp_favicon, false) !== false
    then
     send appropriate headers
     readfile($file);
    endif
     else
    send send 404 headers
   endif
   die
 endif
 }}}
