Who other than cygwin build uses this target?  Git for Windows?

Yes, Git for Windows uses this target, as did msysGit (and I suspect
Hannes' setup).

The resources are built correctly in Git for Windows SDK with this patch,
and I just verified that the windres shipped with the last msysGit (AKA
Git for Windows 1.x' SDK) handles the -i flag correctly, too. That is, at
least windres.exe included in binutils-2.19.1-mingw32-bin.tar.gz (which
was current at the time I updated msysGit on Feb 19 2009) can handle it.

So: ACK

Ciao,
Dscho

P.S.: I applied this patch to Git for Windows' `master`:
