Hi Thomas,

I am having a hard time understanding what, if anything, needs to be
changed for this PR.
I did check in a small patch to correct the description of the --preprocessor
option. It should now make sense, and show that 'gcc' is the preprocessor and
-E, -xc-header and -DRC_INVOKED are preprocessor arguments.
Do you have an example of a failing windres invocation that properly uses
--preprocessor and --preprocessor-arg along with escaping relevant to the
shell that is going to interpret the command line ?
Cheers
Nick
