	I don't know about all of you, but I'm sick of filling out
structures, and sick of including tons of hex data for images etc...
	I would love to see the resource manager that people have
been talking about extended to allow the following:

	I want to draw images with dpaint, or Aegis Images, and save
them as brushes, windows, what-have-you. I want to design menus with
a menu editor (like a font editor, or icon editor) and the same with
any other major structures. Then I want to reference these structures
from C without including them in the source file, just link them in
with my program.
	Maybe the resource editors will save these as hunks or something.
I don't know enough about the load-files to know how this would work, but
I do know what a time & error saver this would be!

note: I know about brush-to-bob and power-windows etc... but including
the stuff with your source file slows down the compile. All I am asking
for is a way for brush-to-bob and power-windows style programs to output
ready-to-link files.
