[fpc-pascal] Resource compiler under Linux - windres?

[Giulio Bernardi]

Just compiling windres from binutils sources should be enough.
The only problem I remember from past experience is that windres is not
endian safe, but if you use it on little endian machines it works just fine.

A simple way to have windres is:

download binutils from http://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/binutils/, and unpack the tar.gz

./configure
make
cd binutils
make windres

copy windres in your path.
That's all. There might be quicker ways that avoid having to compile all 
binutils, but compilation is very quick, so it should not be an issue.
