I concur; this is not within the realm of gcc to handle by itself.

There are a number of GTK+ packages which include windres .rc files, but 
it takes all sorts of automake hacking to do it (all within an 
AM_CONDITIONAL, of course).  As for packages which don't use autotools, 
good luck.  Either way, we don't want to go that route.
