Have some descriptions of what you need to put to generate icons, but don't explain enough to be usable.

Questions I had after reading it:
* Should the files really be named "icon_at_2x.png" and the script renames the files, or did you mean "icon@2x.png" 
* Where do the files go?  In the www folder (relative to the config file root), or in the platforms/ios folder, or in the project root folder?
* Will it attempt to create missing icons by rescaling (given that the icon.png is required), or should icon.png be a specific size?  It would be great if it scaled!
* What pushes icon updates out to the platforms?  I changed the icon, removed the icon files under platform/ios/icons, and ran a "cordova prepare" - and nothing happened, the folders stayed empty.
* Will this be at all compatible with Xcode 5 "xcassets" folders?  Will using xcassets (like xcode 5 prompts you to covert to) break it?

I tried a lot of different combinations, but eventually gave up and did it by hand, but now I'm worried that "cordova prepare" might clobber my icons if I leave in the config lines.

Help!
