--- Comment #6 from Corinna Vinschen <corinna at vinschen dot de> ---
After some discussion with Jon_Y and Yaakov on IRC, I'm pretty much ok
with moving the default-manifest handling to GCC.

I'm just wondering if the default-manifest shouldn't then be made
into its own package, independent of binutils and GCC, so that we
can update the default manifest if a new Windows comes out, without
having to update binutils or GCC packages as well.

If we do that, GCC would have to handle three situations:

- The default-manifest.o file doesn't exist in the search path.
  Don't even try to add it to the command line.

- The manifest file exists, the -shared option is given.
  Don't add default-manifest.o to the command line.

- The manifest file exists, the -shared option is not given.
  Append default-manifest.o to the command line.

Will that work?
