If you have some kind of resource editor that can produce .res files, then 
you're set.  Just create a .def file with the following lines:

EXETYPE NT
SUBSYSTEM WINDOWS
RC resourcefilename.res

Then put the name of the .def file on the compiler command line along with 
all your .d files.  I don't know much about Windows resources, but I believe 
that the first icon it finds will be used as the program icon.

Also, you cannot use .rc files - you must use compiled .res files.
