Thanks for the pointer. I'll take a look, though I doubt if it will work
with mingw32. I took one out of Perl Win32 module and modified it a bit to
make it work with mingw32 without perl library. Only tested it with simple
stuff, and so far seems to work.

I finally had a chance to try out windres on 5 different Win95 machines
running various OS versions -- from Win95 initial to the latest and 
greatest. I still cannot reproduce this problem. Kind of hard for me
to fix if I can't reproduce. I'm using windres from binutils-2.9.1, so
maybe that's the difference? I've uploaded binutils-2.9.1 for others to
try out.
