Gurinder,
The edksetup.bat/edksetup.sh script will copy the BaseTools/Conf/*.template to
Conf/*.txt if the Conf/*.txt files do not exist.
So you can add rules for new file types, or change the build steps in
build_rule.*, and the compiler location an flags are set in tools_de.*
https://svn.code.sf.net/p/edk2/code/trunk/edk2/BaseTools/Conf/build_rule.template
https://svn.code.sf.net/p/edk2/code/trunk/edk2/BaseTools/Conf/tools_def.template
Note there is some support for resource compiler to support Hii
[Hii-Binary-Package.UEFI_HII]
<InputFile>
*.hpk
<OutputFile.MSFT, OutputFile.INTEL, OutputFile.GCC>
$(OUTPUT_DIR)(+)$(MODULE_NAME)hii.lib
