AHA!

For a while I'd been wondering why occasionally when I build in mozilla/browser/app I get an app with no window icon, and DDE fails. After tracking it down a bit it seemed like the contents of splash.rc were not being folded into module.rc before the exe was generated.

I decided to investigate this tonight and found the problem -

If you have POSIXLY_CORRECT (used with patch) set in the environment in your shell as you build, splash.rc will not be included for some unknown reason.
