  Thanks, Kai, I'll get time to look at it late tonight.  A couple of grammar
points for your changelog entries: (I do not mean to offend, I appreciate
English is not your first language!)

  "and replaced rxlex.l with rclex.c"

  Should probably list which structures.

  "Always use bfd_vma in internal representation instead of long or int"

  "Removed unused stringtable from %union"

  "Added suni structure to %union for unicode strings"

  "support" is present tense, so use "Rewrite" to match, instead of "rewrote"
(past tense).

  "RC format dumps are now recompilable" or "Dumps in RC format are now
recompilable".

  "Use bfd for res..."

  "Include windint.h.  Additionally, remove K&R syntax."
