No, that's definitely not an XPM.  I would search the sources and see 
how this is used; I suspect this is #include'd somewhere.

However, emacs includes emacs.png's and emacs.svg which are installed 
into the hicolor-icon-theme.  Why not use those?  You have two options:

1) Use convert(1) for a 1->1 conversion.

2) In Ports, png2ico(1) allows embedding multiple images (e.g. different 
sizes) into an ICO.
