We added code in rules.mk that flips the slashes, so we believe either
compiler should work.
The other issue was the ability of the RC to find icons and bitmaps in the
include path - we fixed that by just copying the files in the objdir case.
So, any RC should work at this point I believe.
If it doesn't, it is a bug.
