First of all, the icons positions have changed in Jag. They are now as follows:

/System/Library/CoreServices/SystemIcons.bundle/Contents/Resources/

CDAudioVolumeIcon.icns

ClippingPicture.icns

ClippingSound.icns

ClippingText.icns

ClippingUnknown.icns

GenericFontIcon.icns

HelpIcon.icns

iMac.icns ("Computer" icon for toolbar)

InternetLocationAFP.icns

InternetLocationFile.icns

InternetLocationFTP.icns

InternetLocationGeneric.icns

InternetLocationHTTP.icns

InternetLocationMAILTO.icns

InternetLocationNEWS.icns

KEXT.icns (kernel extension icon)

NetBootVolume.icns

SystemIcons.rsrc (Contains special folder icons, home folder, some remote disk icons, etc. Note that the trash icons here seem to be only for the trash's proxy icons.)

/System/Library/CoreServices/Finder.app/Contents/Resources/

new_folder.icns

movies.icns

public.icns

pictures.icns

info.icns

multiselection.icns

dockling.icns

finder.png

poof.png

(The TrashEmpty and TrashFull PNGs here actually control how the trash looks in the Dock. You need to click on the trash once for the icons to change.)

/System/Library/LoginPlugins/BezelServices.loginPlugin/Contents/Resources/

alert.tiff

bright.tiff

continuousShadow.tiff

contrast.tiff

discreteShadow.tiff

eject.tiff

indicator.tiff

leftBar.tiff

lock.tiff

middleBar.tiff

mute.tiff

rightBar.tiff

volume.tiff

(Not icons per se, but these are the graphics for the translucent panels that come up when you adjust brightness/contrast/volume from the keyboard.)

/System/Library/CoreServices/SystemUIServer/Contents/Resources/

camera.icns

video.icns

cd.icns (another audio CD icon......)

/System/Library/Extensions/InternalModemSupport.kext/Contents/Resources/AppleModemOnHold.app/Contents/Resources/Application.icns

(I have no idea what it's for, but it looks cool.) :)

/System/Library/Extensions/IOATABlockStorage.kext/Contents/Resources/PCCard.icns

/System/Library/Extensions/IOCDStorageFamily.kext/Contents/Resources/

CD-R.icns

CD-RW.icns

MemoryStick.icns

SmartMedia.icns

SuperDisk.icns

USBHD.icns

/System/Library/Extensions/IOStorageFamily.kext/Contents/Resources/

External.icns (Default external hard drive icon -- the blank orangey one.)

Internal.icns (Here, of all places, is your default hard drive icon!)

Removable.icns (This is the icon for mounted disk images.)

/System/Library/Extensions/PPPSerial.ppp/Contents/Resources/NetworkConnect.icns

(Don't ask, I don't know why it's here.)

I know for a fact that these aren't all the icons in existence (check out /System/Library/Frameworks/AppleShareClient.framework/Versions/A/Resources/AFPClient.icns or /System/Library/Frameworks/Carbon.framework/Versions/A/Frameworks/CommonPanels.framework/Versions/A/Resources/NSLPlugins/NSLUI.bundle/Contents/Resources/radminx.icns for an especially cool couple of examples!)

As for making an icon out of a certain app, just either drag the app into iconographer, or view the package contents and there should be a .icns file in there.
