Another, slightly simpler way, to resolve this is to just create a
little shell script called windres.exe that calls
i586-mingw32msvc-windres, passing it any incoming parameters (I think
I also needed to add an extra include directory (-I ...) so it could
find windows.h - but can't check this as I'm on a different machine
atm).
