OK, I guess I was just advocating this because it turns out to be much 
easier to solve CVS merge conflicts on text files than binary, and your 
repository tends to not bloat as much with text files.  You would have 
to run Rez as part of the build process, not a big deal because 
CodeWarrior has a Rez compiler, no?

On X, Rez is part of the standard developer package and does have an 
option to create data-fork-based resource files.
