Comment (by Otto42):

 If you're going to support IE and add ICO files for them, don't use
 browser sniffing.

 You can use code like this:

 {{{
 <link href="http://example.com/favicon.ico" rel="shortcut icon"
 type="image/x-icon" />
 <link href="http://example.com/favicon.png" rel="icon" type="image/png" />
 }}}

 This appears to work fine to me as long as the "shortcut icon" with the
 ICO file is first in the HTML.

 Alternatively, the really correct way to do this is with conditional tags.

 {{{
 <!--[if IE]>
 <link href="http://example.com/favicon.ico" rel="shortcut icon"
 type="image/x-icon" />
 <![endif]-->
 }}}

 Non-IE browsers will then ignore the ICO file.
