fpc 2.4.0 will have a builtin support for resources. And no .lrs files
will be needed in the future to place/extract a resource from the 
executable. You will be able to work with them using the same means 
which delphi has (FindResource, LoadResource, ..., TResourceStream) and 
even more on most of fpc platforms (at least on all platforms which 
lazarus supports).

fpc 2.2.4 has resources support only for the windows platforms. Ofcource 
you are (and will be) able to extract resource from the windows 
executables using a resource editor.
