Hi Ralf, Hi Eric,

  Ralf - thanks for the testsuite additions.  I have checked them in together
with a few formatting tidy-ups and the changelog entry below.

  Eric - I am not sure that making the .rdata section writeable is as simple as
it is for the .text section and I am not at all sure that this is something that
we want to do.  Wouldn't it be easier to have pe_find_data_imports() issue a
warning message if it has to auto import when the --enable-auto-import has not
been provided on the command line ?  (I think that it is better to not put read
only data into the .data section unless it is really necessary, thus the default
behaviour for the linker should be not to enable this workaround).  Something
like the attached patch maybe ?

Cheers
  Nick
