Signing needs to be done outside of the compiler.
Lazarus can probably make a nice GUI for it and do the signing after the
compile step is finished, but it is not part of the compiling step.
It's just a matter of executing the windows "signtool" with the correct options.
(and the signtool is indeed part of the SDK, so you will need it in each
case)
