I have no idea. I suppose it is up to you to detect whether you want to use
windres or gorc, and transform the arguments if you are going to call gorc.
That's exactly one of the reasons why I think that it's better to move
the utility into the compiler.
I was thinking about this, too. For binary streams there's no visible
problem to do this. But for text streams, it's necessary to call
ObjectTextToResource(), and that would make compiler depend of Classes unit.
There's another point. Before revision 7515, windres was used to convert
.rc directly into .o, therefore I designed the utility to be a windres
proxy - just not to mess with .o format internals. But now the resources
are processed in two steps, and the first step must write .res only -
that is fairly easy. The utility may write .res directly and need not be
a windres proxy.
So maybe it could be better way to detect format of resource file in
compiler and invoke either new utility or windres? (customizations
introduced in r8164 would then be unnecessary)
