For example, on Watcom you can bundle a rc file via:
wrc -q -ad myprog.rc myprog.exe
This RC file can contain numerous amounts of valuable information to let Windows know about your app. Program name, company name, icons, run w/new WinXP/Win7 theme, etc...

With eubind having problems attaching icons, I've upped the resource handling to be completed in 4.0.0RC2 so users have a way of attaching icons reliably.

Resource binding now functions with Watcom and MinGW. Not closing the ticket yet as the compiled resource file (.res) is placed in the source directory, not the specified build directory. That needs to be corrected before the ticket is closed.

you can distinguish debug and release version attributes in an rc file
#ifndef DEBUG
#define VER_DEBUG 0x0L
#else /* DEBUG */
#define VER_DEBUG 0x1L // VS_FF_DEBUG
#endif
then later
FILEFLAGS VER_DEBUG
FILEFLAGSMASK 0x3fL used in the current rc, is not needed. that was a win16/win32 thing.
FILESUBTYPE 0x?? may have to change to specify dll, console application or application. but it would probably never override the linkers idea of what type of executable it was.
