Sounds good. But you have to keep in mind that the state of your menus,
gadgets, borders et al may very well keep changing, and you may spend as
much time re-creating these linkable files as you save on compiles. At
least with a "windows.h" file you can change flags, positioning, etc with
no more than a quick edit.

I know of one person doing something like this; I think though that
his method would function something like an IFF picture load routine, only
for Intuition resources. It shouldn't be hard to adapt that sort of an
output file into a data hunk, either as an option in a "resource editor"
or through a post-processor.
