In C or Pascal, it's possible to create resources files. WaAV, GIFs,
HTMLs or any type of file can be packed in a single binary filed, in

also to create this type of file?
Normally you need the resource compiler. You can't do it in Lua
unless you write your own resource compiler, and you'd need a
linking step as well, so you may also need to write that. If you
just need .rc -> .dll, it's of course possible to write a
simplified version, or a small one with cut-down features. But I
haven't heard of any scripting language implementing their own
resource compiler.
In positive answer, what is the
library responsible to write and read it?
Different compilers have different steps. MinGW/gcc for example,
compiles .rc to .o files, but you wouldn't be able to mix that
with Visual C++. So a lot will have to do with your intended
application...
