Depends on how you want to access them at runtime.

What you can do is to include them as win32 resources, see the advanced
example - it puts the winXP manifest file as resource into the exe.

test_wx = Target(
   ...
   other_resources = [(resource_type, resource_id, resource_data)],
   )

resource_type and resource_id must be integers, resource_data
must be the data itself as a string.

At runtime you can access them with a win32api.LoadResource() call.

You probably mean 2.5.5.1 ?

I hope.  Thanks for these,
