Summary: windres crash with #pragma codepage()

Initial Comment:
Windres can't compile correctly a utf-8 file with chinese, japanese or czech chars, even if i set the LANGUAGE properly (eg: LANGUAGE LANG_CHINESE). By correctly i mean that all i see are garbled chars.

Trying to fix this issue, i added #pragma codepage(65001) which is the code page identifier for utf-8 (source: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/dd317756(VS.85).aspx), and windres crashes.

Do i need to convert the file to another charset and try another codepage?

Example:

#pragma code_page(950)
LANGUAGE LANG_CHINESE, SUBLANG_DEFAULT

STRINGTABLE
BEGIN
    IDS_DLG_OK                          "确定"
    IDS_DLG_CANCEL                      "取消"
    IDS_DLG_APPLY                       "应用"
    IDS_DLG_DEFAULT                     "默认"
END
