Some packages (gnulib) pass COFF object files with .res extension

intercepts all .res files and runs them through windres, which fails for
COFF files that are not Windows resource files (Microsoft Visual C
binary resource file as identified by libmagic/file).
This patch removes the .res file specs, leaving only the .rc
support specs active. At a later date, this can be reviewed.
The driver could inspect the .res file to see if it's a object file or,
but, it's somewhat questionable if handling .res is even useful.
Thanks, dropping .res handling for now. Pushed to master branch.
