[Bug binutils/6714] New: WindRes 2.18 can't concatenate literal strings anymore?

[c dot colijn at twologs dot com]

I'm using MingW (including BinUtils' WindRes).  Since I installed a MingW 
version including BinUtils 2.18, my resource files that use literal string 
concatenation do not work anymore.  I previously used BinUtils version 
2.17.50.  I have checked all 2.18.50 builds (2007-11-23, 2008-01-09 and 2008-01-
09-2), but they all give the same error.

The error I get is:
windres.exe: C:\\Source\\TIMETR~1.RC:137: syntax error
windres.exe: preprocessing failed.

The source for that line is:
    LTEXT           "Value: " VALUE_AS_TXT, IDC_REPORT_LIC_LBL, 7, 238, 100, 
16, NOT WS_VISIBLE
where VALUE_AS_TXT is #defined in an included header file like:
#define VALUE_AS_TXT "15"

But then the following simple test case also fails in the same way:
    PUSHBUTTON      "..." "15", IDC_REPORT_BROWSE, 278, 220, 18, 12
