Embedded manifests in Windows 7

I recently took advantage of the Windows7 beta and think it’s a great upgrade over Vista. However, anything I compiled with the Windows SDK resulted in a binary that was reported to be an invalid windows image. Turns out the issue is documented in the SDK release notes (section 5.3.6). A resource section is required (even an empty resource) before you can embed a manifest resource.
