[pubcookie-dev] Re: [auto-generating windows version files]

[Jon Miner]

Hmm...  I don't know how we would do that, since that file is edited by
the Windows GUI, so I won't think we could just have a .in file and
generate it..  The .h file is easy(er?) because it's not actually part
of the runtime environment..

I mean, theoretically, we just create a .in and reaplce the FILEVERSION,
PRODUCTVERSION, Comments, FileVersion and ProductVersion ..  But I don't
know what Windows will think of that. :)

Is there a Windows guru around that has a any ideas?
