These are harder to fix than was immediately obvious to me. We generate one win32ver.rc per directory, even if a directory contains multiple build products (think MODULES or src/bin/scripts). So we simply can't put a correct filename etc into the .rc file, unless we change the name of the .rc file. I looked into how hard it would be to fix this on the make side, and decided it's too hard. I'm inclined to leave this alone and fix it later in the meson port. Greetings, Andres Freund
