I'm not sure these resources should be moved.  They are required to
build the application.  The resources currently in the resource folder
are for adding desktop and other non-build related platform resources so
they are somewhat different in their scope.  I don't have a really
strong opinion one way or the other it's just that logically the current
layout make sense to me.
