This is what I (Vaclav Hanzl) use in Makefile:

# Create icon with all 6 variants needed for equi4 exe.
# Input .png can be 48x48 or more, e.g. 96==lcm(16,32,48)
# (needs Debian packages icoutils and imagemagick)

.PRECIOUS: %.ico

%.ico: %.png
    convert -geometry 16x16 -colors  16 $< $*-0.png
    convert -geometry 16x16 -colors 256 $< $*-1.png
    convert -geometry 32x32 -colors  16 $< $*-2.png
    convert -geometry 32x32 -colors 256 $< $*-3.png
    convert -geometry 48x48 -colors  16 $< $*-4.png
    convert -geometry 48x48 -colors 256 $< $*-5.png
    icotool -c -o $@ $*-[0-5].png
    rm $*-[0-5].png
