Description
Summary of the new feature / enhancement
Windows exe's can have resources embedded in them so they can ship/sign just one file. dsc would need to check every exe to see if it has an embedded resource manifest, but with caching, this should only be an expensive operation the first time for resource discovery and we can invalidate specific portions of the cache if a directory's modified date changes. The embedded resource manifest would take precedence over any external file equivalent.
