Well one approach which might suit all concerned would be to strip
it out from wxOil/Makefile.am completely, and put it in
wxOil/xrc/Makefile.am. We could even put resources.cpp there as well.
Then (assuming you do have gnu make and perl installed) your script
could simply do something like "make -C wxOil/xrc" and (if you like)
copy wxOil/xrc/resources.cpp (it would have moved, remember) to
wxOil/winresources.cpp.

This would simply the makefiles rather, and leave the resources
stuff in their own place. It would also make moving to bakefile etc.
rather easier if we ever wanted to do that.

WDYT?
