This seems like a reasonable thing to want to do...  which probably
means that it isn't possible in Windows.

Have you looked at Microsoft's MSDN site to see if there is any
discussion of "Microsoft standard" way of doing this?  That might give a
hint about how to do this with GNU tools.  I thought I had done this at
a previous job but, I just checked, and I can't seem to locate the
appropriate Makefiles to verify if this was just a faulty memory or not.

Normally, I'd also suggest checking deja.com but that's been sort of
crippled since google.com took it over.
