Sorry, I changed (and copy and paste) without recompiling. Thanks for 
correcting it, I applied to the patch in attachment.

Me too. But I detected by practice, that dwFlags with value zero works 
very fine, but I changed it to your suggestion.

Yes, but I think we will have no problems about this here.

That's right. I introduced the API needed for the windmc-tool. But also I 
think the missing "-c" option can be implemented by this methods to 
windres, too.
