I am using John Szeder's "ReszTool." John is on the list too, so I expect 
him to speak up as well on this and maybe get a demo version of it in your 
hands. His resource editor is XML based, meaning you write an XML file 
listing the resources you want in the BAR file and the toll builds it based 
on that. It allows to create different builds in a single XML file, so you 
can have dedicated builds for each handset if you need to and so forth. 
Becasue it's command line based you can directly include it in your make 
file or VS project builds as well.

I have worked in the tool a bit and also implemented the ability to compress 
files as they are included into the BAR file, which is very important to me 
to avoid intermediate files etc. I made a few other changes that I needed 
and I'm very happy with the tool overall, so I can only recommend it highly.
