May be a little off-topic, but the windres docs[1] state:
  "This option may be used to specify the preprocessor to use, including any
leading arguments"

FFmpeg (probably similar to Haskell) use an invocation like:
  $(WINDRES) $(IFLAGS) --preprocessor "$(DEPWINDRES) -E -xc-header -DRC_INVOKED
$(CC_DEPFLAGS)"

I imagine this has been the expected behaviour until a different whitespace fix
recently[2].

Clarifying this change and the use of `--preprocessor-arg` going forward would
be helpful.

Cheers,

Tony
