windres seems to choke on multiline strings.
With the following exerpt  from a .rc file

     83 IDR_DEVICES RCDATA
     84 BEGIN
     85   "mswinpr2,\0"   /* can't set resolution in device dialog box */
     86   "djet500,300x300,150x150,100x100,75x75\0"
     87   "\0"
     88 END

I get:
windres: srcwin/gvwin1.rc:86: parse error

windres has invoked like this:
$ windres --include-dir= --include-dir ./srcwin --include-dir ./src 
--include-dir ./obj -D_Windows -D__WIN32__ --include-dir="en"  -o 
./obj/gsvw32en.res -i ./srcwin/gvwin1.rc

I also tried with the \0's removed and it still chokes.

I'm guessing that Microsoft's rc compiler allows the above syntax. I've 
never seen it before. It's from the gsview-4.3 source, windows version. 
I was trying to make a cygwin compatible Makefile for it. It currently 
compiles with the MSVC toolset.
