    windres: quote the angled brackets to avoid confusing shell
    
    When invoking windres with a preprocessor parameter that contains angled
    brackets, the shell will try to interpret them, leading to an error.
    
    For example with an empty test.rc file:
    
    $ i686-w64-mingw32-windres '-DTEST=<foo>' -o test.o -i test.rc
    sh: 1: cannot open foo: No such file
    i686-w64-mingw32-windres: preprocessing failed.
    
    After patch it correctly complains about no resources baked in:
    
    $ ./i686-w64-mingw32-windres '-DTEST=<foo>' -o test.o -i test.rc
    ./i686-w64-mingw32-windres: no resources
