+# windres from GNU binutils can be tricky with command line arguments
+# that contain spaces or other funny characters. Unfortunately we need
+# a space in PACKAGE_NAME. Using \x20 to encode the US-ASCII space seems
+# to work in both cmd.exe and /bin/sh.
+#
+# However, even \x20 isn't enough in all situations, resulting in
+# "syntax error" from windres. Using --use-temp-file prevents windres
+# from using popen() and this seems to fix the problem.
+#
+# llvm-windres claims to be compatible with GNU windres but with that
+# the \x20 results in "XZx20Utils" in the compiled binary. (At the
+# same time it works correctly with clang (the C compiler).) The option
+# --use-temp-file makes no difference.
+#
+# CMake 3.25 doesn't have CMAKE_RC_COMPILER_ID so we rely on
+# CMAKE_C_COMPILER_ID. If Clang is used together with GNU windres
+# then it will fail, but this way the risk of a bad string in
+# the binary should be fairly low.
