Summary: Windres doesn't allow integer ctrl names

Initial Comment:

A user reported that windres does not support bitmap-
style static controls such as:

DLG_101 DIALOGEX 0, 0, 132, 95
...
CONTROL         MYPICTURE, IDB_BITMAP, "Static", 
SS_BITMAP | SS_CENTERIMAGE | SS_SUNKEN, 6, 
7, 120, 40
END

MYPICTURE BITMAP c:\app\peek.bmp


MYPICTURE is #defined integer identifier, but windres 
only allows an (optional) quoted string for the first 
parameter of a dialog control. From what I have tried, 
MS RC supports integers for any control name, 
including e.g. PUSHBUTTONS (not just CONTROL 
controls).

Windres was modified to support integers for ICON 
controls, so I propose that this be extended to all 
controls.

I will start work on this change whenever I am able.
