Use FindFile and FindExe functions to search for "cpp". The same way 
as windres binary is searched above:

  resfound:=false;
  if utilsdirectory<>'' then
    resfound:=FindFile(utilsprefix+bin+source_info.exeext,utilsdirectory,false,resbin);
  if not resfound then
    resfound:=FindExe(utilsprefix+bin,false,resbin);
