I have blogged about this few months ago. http://blog.morzproject.com/convert-multiple-png-images-into-a-single-icon-file/
from favicon-cheat-sheet.
It converts PNGs to BMPs. The resulting ico file is >> than all specified PNG files combined.

The Ubuntu/Debian package icoutil has an icotool
program which does this. It would be nice to know if this part of the format has decent browser (and especially IE) support as they are more convenient than bloating up the markup with a million alternatives.

+1 for the "Icon Slate" app on Mac OSX. Price is £2.99/$4.99 IIRC in the app store. Just select you're creating a favicon and drag and drop the 32x32 and 16x16 into the placeholders.

Thanks everyone for the helpful discussion. I've updated the cheat sheet with everything in this thread.
I'll keep this issue open until we get confirmation about @twm's question, about whether ICO files made from PNGs have decent browser support, esp on IE.

Android's decoder, at least, doesn't support PNG-in-ICO: https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=748100#c10
It looks like Firefox for Android's support is a WIP.

IE-9 does display contents of a favicon.ico
file with PNG images.
While this is an ancient post, I thought it was worth getting it closed. It turns out to be rather tricky to actually create a favicon.ico
file with pure PNG content. Having finally succeeded with that I created a test page and test site, with that file as the only source of the image. It properly displays in IE-7, IE-8, and IE-9. IE-6 was unable to render it, even when loaded directly. I suspect that IE-6 has no PNG support at all, and an icon file suffers from that. IE-6 and IE-8 were tested in Windows XP and IE-7 while IE-9 were tested in Windows 7.
Results can be seen on imgur.com.
