Synopsis: When freezing WEL samples requiring a .rc file, the .rc file is not included

Description

Let's take the `pizza' example. Because this example does not include any C externals, we do not generate the `libpizza.dll' which contains the C externals and the .rc file as the one from the precompiled library contains all the C externals.

I see two solutions:
1- Generate an empty .c file or with a dummy routine so that the DLL is generated
2- Add support for .rc files in ECF which will automatically trigger a C compilation so that the `libpizza.dll' is generated.
