Thanks for looking at that and helping out!

Done. The removal of the additional rc files is grouped at the
beginning of clean.bat.

I see, that's specified in src/makefiles/Makefile.win32. For the
portion of conversion_procs, updating directly proc.mk seems to be
enough, so done this way. Also, an entry in conversion_procs was not
updated according to the PGFILEDESC you introduced.

Btw, looking more at those patches, I found a limitation with
contrib/spi for MinGW builds: in order to pass WIN32RES to OBJS, some
of the contrib defined as MODULES need to be defined as MODULE_big to
accept a custom list of OBJS, but MODULE_big is not able to accept a
list of shared libraries. This limitation causes all the dll generated
in contrib/spi to not be versioned with MinGW. MSVC works fine though.

Ah, right. Nice catch.

Thanks, I am still planning to work more on those things for CF2 and
next commit fests.

Updated patches are attached.
