Description
VCToBPR incorrectly generates parameters for the resource compiler (in *.bpr files) as:

<OPTIONS>
   <RFLAGS value ="/l 0x409 /d &quot;NDEBUG&quot; /i$(BCB)\include;$(BCB)\include\mfc"/>

when in fact the options for the resource compiler should be specific with a '-' and not a '/' - not that it matters much anyway because it's quite obvious the resource compiler has several severe issues with its functionality (e.g. see report 2071), but assuming that they get it fixed, they should then fix this (minor) problem as well.
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Run VCToBPR on any Microsoft Visual Studio 6 project containing resource (.RC) files that specify options for the resource compiler (examples include locale codes, header include directories, etc.).
2. Open the resulting project file (.bpr)
3. Scroll down to the <OPTIONS> part and locate <RFLAGS value...>
Workarounds
After converting, manually edit the project file (View Options Source) to make ne cessary changes.
