windres and RCDATA sections

[Mark Blackburn]

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.
