I am sorry, I do not think that there is any way for windres to support MS
style quoted names without completely rewriting the parser.  It is possible to
have double quotes in names, but I suspect that the method is windres specific:

  """this_name_starts_and_ends_with_quotation_marks"""

Ie if you put "" inside a string that is enclosed in "..." marks, then the ""
is converted into a single " character and taken to be part of the name.
