Maybe I missed something here but why do you need bin2res at all? WRC can compile the resources to be linked by windres/MS_VC. We have the #ifdef WINE in regedit because the ReactOS people are lazy and havent merged wrc in to our CVS yet. I build these applications all the time on Windows using MSYS and Cygwin. I really dont think we need to support yet another way to build on Windows when you already have MSYS/Cygwin or MS_VC and none of them work 100% right.
Yes, we could just use wrc, but it would be nice to not depend on that, and just use the resource compiler that comes with the tools we use to do the compilation, just like we use gcc/ld/etc. when we compile on MinGW. Why not also use windres? Or rc on MSVC?
