- Subject: Question about windres extension and a message compiler for windres.
Hello,
I am sorry for querying, but I am really interested in. Is somebody
reviewing or commenting on this windres extension patch ?
I want to preparing a message compiler variant for binutils. It has beside
the CodeView issue, the same features like the MS tool mc. Is there any
interest in this new tool ?
Regards,
i.A. Kai Tietz
