Actually you will, in a real VS project. Again, rbuild's msvc backend  
sucks because it doesn't do this, resulting in autocomplete not  
working correctly, because MSVC doesn't "know" about the header  
(whereas if the header is in the "headers" part of the project, then  
it knows about it, can search through it, etc.)

Same applies to .rc files.
