[sylpheed:30508] FYI: /usr/bin/windres blocks sylpheed to compile

Hi,

for those who have a cross compiler for win32 installed on their
linux box and therefore also may have /usr/bin/windres present, sylpheed
does not compile since HAVE_WINDRES (exact name?) is set. So, the
sylpheed makefile tries to compile sylpheed.res (although not needed on
the linux target) and fails with the message that the file format of
sylpheed.res is not recognized.

Temporary workaround before compiling sylpheed:
mv /usr/bin/windres /usr/bin/windres.bak

Felix
