On windows, many executables have an assembly manifest embedded. This

used.
Thanks for the trip down memory lane! We worked with manifests back in
the VS 2005 and 2008 time-frame [1] :-)
At places we also try to include manifest information twice, using the
old style of declaring the manifest file in an .rc file. This is not
needed when we use MT for post-processing.
