I did.  Unfortunately, if I do
  STRING_FOO,  "This is a two-line \
string"
it looks good in Wine, but it's run together on one line in Windows.
Conversely, if I do
  STRING_FOO,   "This is a two-line \n \
string"
it looks good in Windows, but it's double-spaced in Wine.

Something's fishy here.  Our .rc files should be
usable in both environments without change.
