Comment (by jorbin):

 I think we can do this using a <link rel="SHORTCUT ICON"
 href="http://www.mydomain.com/myicon.ico"/> tag in the header which is
 supported by all of the brosers[1].  One thing we will need to consider
 is:

 User uploads a .png .  We convert it to a .ico file so it works in all
 browsers.  Should we do some simple browser sniffing to serve the png if
 the user is in a browser that supports it and fall back to the ico for
 browsers that don't.
