Can you give me an example for such a resource file?

I successfully compiled cacls, calc and taskmgr including the resource files
with MSVC 2005.
They all use slightly different syntaxes, but I didn't see a resource file
yet, which completely fails under MSVC.

I agree that there are some resource files, which use unsupported language
ID's like LANG_WALON, but we could just leave them out or add an #ifdef
here.

Anyhow, I agree with enabling rbuild to generate more stuff automatically as
long as this doesn't break the already existing parts of MSVC compatibility
(yes, some minor user-mode stuff can really be compiled successfully with
MSVC).
