Bzzt.  Wrong answer.  I *did* change things based on a flawed
understanding of the eventual compromise with all of the -mwin32 crap
that happened in gcc 2.95.2-[3456789].  I just reread the mailing list
archives and realized that I got it wrong for gcc 3.1.1.  Too bad.  I
had a nice workaround to make windres work but I have to go back to
always including /usr/include/w32api unless -mno-win32 is specified.

So that's why special handling of windres is "suddenly required".  What
a maroon.
