Plain -ico does not work: rsrc.exe -ico my.ico -o rsrc.syso #3

Does not work. It requires either the -manifest or -data to be present.

Hm; at first I thought using -ico without -manifest makes no sense, as I'd expect only GUI writers (who would want to use pretty GUI, and thus Common Controls 6.0 and special Manifest) would want to embed an icon. But now that you wrote, I'm starting to imagine console app writers also might want to embed an icon sometimes, so this starts to make sense. I'll try to make this possible when I find some time. You're welcome to send a pull request if you'd like this sooner than later, this shouldn't really be hard.

Thanks for the suggestion!
