If you specify it as icon (--icon to Makespec), it means you want it as icon
of the executable.
If you just want to add it as an additional data file, read the manual about
that. It will be extracted to the runtime directory and you should be able to
access it through _MEIPASS2 (manual should be clear about that). You can't
just read it from the "current directory" because the current directory is
where your exectuable is run (which could even be off a CDROM...).
