Finally, I was wondering what's up with those .rc files that I find all over the place in the texlive source tree. They seem to contain version and banner info for windows, but fair number of them appears to be outdated.

Yes, these are resource files which provide some data to be fed into the .exe. They used to be into some separate directory, but somehow, they are really part of the executable file, so should be provided with the other source files. However, as you noticed I didn't find enough time to update them.

Duplication of volatile data (and version info is just that) is really bad idea. Can their generation be automated? -- Olaf Weber (This space left blank for technical reasons.)
