PE Resource Dump

Dumps all resources from a PE file such as EXE, DLL, MUI, CPL, OCX, and others.

The command line two takes 2 arguments: the PE file and the directory to output to. The output directory will be set up with a tree where the first level is the resource type (common types are converted to string names). If a resource has more than one language there will be another directory level with the language numerical ID. The files then are the resources themselves with the name of the resource (either the numerical identifier or the string) followed by an extension.

The default dumper simply dumps each resource as a binary file directly copied from the PE file and gives a .bin extension.

BITMAP resources are converted into BMP images. ICON and ICON_GROUP resources are converted into ICO files. CURSOR and CURSOR_GROUP resources are converted into CUR files.

MANIFEST resources that start with a < are saved with an .xml extension. Any resources that seem to be PNG, GIF, or JPEG images are saved with the appropiate extension. All of these work without conversion, just with a different file extension.

New dumpers can be added by creating a function similar to dump_binary in PEResourceDump.cpp and adding it to the dumpers array before dump_binary. The functions in this array are tried in order until one of them returns true. The signature of the function must match the dump_func type.
