I just came across a handy tool from Google: a page that grabs the favicon from any site and converts it to a PNG. It's perfect for, say, assembling a list of sites in your own website and displaying their own favicon as a graphic next to each.
Just call http://www.google.com/s2/favicons?domain=[example.com] (replacing "[example.com]" with the domain you want to retrieve the favicon from, of course).
