On a tangent, I was working on some windres hacks to make it compile
resource files with Borland extensions.  Those same resource files will
not compile with the VC++ resource compiler.  Is there a problem with
doing this?  The reason I ask is that it sounds like Microsoft's
resource compiler is the QA target.
