Problems:

- Empty fields. There is no need to include empty fields like Comments, 
LegalTrademarks, PrivateBuild, SpecialBuild.. It looks kind of uncool.

- use of "," instead of "." All the places I've seen people use "." and not ",".

I should point out that I've seen this problem with other apps.  What happens is
that, if you edit the RC file using Microsoft Visual C++ 6.0, it will always add
those new fields to your version info.  That means that each time the RC file is
ever edited with the MS IDE, someone has to go in and manually remove those
lines again.
