Right-click the project, Add + New Item, select Text File, name it Blah.mc. Enter or paste the definitions. Right-click Blah.mc, Properties, Custom build step:

• Command line = mc $(InputPath)
• Outputs = $(InputName).rc

Edit your .rc file, add:

#include "Blah.rc"

Worked for me, ought to be close.
