Use GCC's windres as rcCompiler with windows-resources plugin

Help/Discuss

To compile a Windows Resource file with the windows-resources plugin one currently seems to need the VisualCpp toolchain. I’m using the Gcc toolchain and would like to use the equivalent GNU tools windres as the rcCompiler. I’m guessing this is not possible at the moment?

Are there any plans to include Gcc toolchain support for this plugin? The commands seem pretty similar (http://www.mingw.org/wiki/MS_resource_compiler):

MS resource compiler: rc foo.rc
GNU tools resource compiler: windres foo.rc foo.res

The plugin on the Windows is not getting installed and my system is also getting down. I think that there must be any bug and because of that, the system is not letting the plugin installed. There might be an issue of Microsoft compatibility telemetry high disk and it should be fixed.
