windows exe info

A Cargo build script library to handle inclusion of Windows icons and version information without the use of external .rc files.

Inspired by and using embed_resource. Use embed_resource when the windres command is not on PATH.

Generic image format conversion is done calling imagemagick. Imagemagick needs to be in PATH for the conversion functions to work. If imagemagick is not found, the build script will fail.

The only icon format capable of being used without imagemagick is .ico.

INFO: At the moment only one icon and versioninfo struct can be linked.

This crate only works on windows as resource scripts are a windows thing. Linking for web will fail (I have not yet checked for linux or macos). Use build_cfg for checking the target. Build_cfg is also used for cross architecture compilation support.
