S*** happens ;-) I didn't mean to send attachments to the list.

Then I wondered who'd make the first remark that I messed up or if I'ld get
flamed for posting an attachment.
I hope the attachment helps other people or inspire them and didn't upset
anyone ...

Good idea, I'll contact them.
Nevertheless, the point in my AC_PROG_RC was having something like
AC_LANG_SOURCE(RC) or something equivalent that tests what RC is capable of
(like escape chars in strings). The problem with the latter is that you can
call any AC_LANG_FUNC_LINK_TRY, AC_LANG_CALL, AC_LANG_PROGRAM with a
ressource file. The problem with the first is that there's not AutoMake
integration (yet !)

I've also worked on a AC_PROG_DLLTOOL (it can be found in the patches
section of SF's MinGW, search by my SF login julienlecomte)

That's no problem at all.

They will probably want the thing formatted the GNU way I guess

I appreciate the encouragement.
