link-time error: unrecognized escape sequence

Thanks for that tip.

Here's what the problematic file contains:

1 24 MOVEABLE PURE "dist\build\eros\eros.exe.manifest"

Now I can see that the "unrecognized escape sequences" come from missing
back-slashes.   I guess "dist\build", the "\b" is getting interpreted as a
backspace, thus becoming "disuild", while the "\e" was considered an error.
