i thought about this also... we might want to export resources in Rez
format to store them in CVS. when we modify something we'd simply have to
DeRez our resource file and commit it; then everyone else Rezzes it back
into a true resource file. (I don't know if it's possible to do this using
the built-in Rez compiler, but it's pretty straightforward to do using
MPW's Rez and DeRez tools, which can be invoked via ToolServer from within
the CW IDE.)
