[Bug binutils/591] New: windres: problem compiling resource containing & in filename

[spec at webtech dot pl]

hello, 
 
I'm trying to compile a resource containg & in filename. how do I escape it? I
tried enclosing it in quotes and escaping it with \& and && - none of those 
work. 
the command line would be: 
windres -i 'proj&priv.rc' --input-format=rc -o 'proj&priv.rc' -O COFF 

and I'm getting: 

gcc: proj: No such file or directory 
gcc: warning: `-x c' after last input file has no effect 
gcc: no input files 
'priv.rc' is not recognized as an internal or external command, 
operable program or batch file. 
c:\Dev-Cpp\bin\windres.exe: no resources 

I tried escape chars \&, &&, enclosing in double quotes and none of it worked
