There is a way to embed resource files into compiled binaries when 
using Microsoft Windows.  I see an example of this in the VisualMagick 
configure program.  The files under VisualMagick/configure/res are 
included in the configure binary due to the project file.  The 
resource files can provide an icon, origin/version information, or 
other information which is valuable to have attached to the 
executable.

There is a way to attach error message information (e.g. 
magick/gm_messages.mc) to the binary.  The various "mgk" files may be 
bound to the executable as resources.  The magick/GraphicsMagick.ico 
is attached as the icon resource.
