rc.exe in VS2005 was a bit rogue. rc in the previous release only
showed the logo when the /verbose flag was used. In VS2005 rc was
"fixed" to show the logo by default, but didn't get a /nologo to turn it
off again - this was added in the following release.
If changing the version of VS being used is not possible then I guess
the /nologo for rc.exe should be removed and a comment put in noting
that we are stuck with having it appear.
