Try gdk-pixbuf-csource.  It takes your image (any format) and turns it
into C source code ready to build into a GdkPixdata structure (you can
create a pixbuf from it).

I recently discovered you could load SVG images as pixbufs, so I've
now started using SVG for icons, cursors etc., since they are much
nicer to modify and scale.  You could also use gdk-pixbuf-csource to
generate code direct from SVG.
