You're writing code, right? So why can't you create such a tool yourself?

Here it is anyway.

Code:

/* anything2c.c */

#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdlib.h>

int main(int argc, char **argv)
{
    FILE *infp;
    char *comma = "";
    int ch;
    int i;

    infp = fopen(argv[1], "rb");
    if(infp == NULL) exit(1);
    printf("unsigned char %s[] = {\n", argv[2]);
    while((ch = fgetc(infp)) != EOF)
    {
        printf("%s    0x%02X", comma, ch);
        comma = ",\n";
    }
    printf("\n};\n");
    fclose(infp);
    return 0;
}

Why is this such a problem?
Why won't the normal resource system work well for you?

On a non-Windows system?

Well, there's been no mention of Linux, so I still have to ask o_O
Besides... are there not similar systems in other operating systems, as well?

I was assuming some UNIX-like system because the OP mentioned XPM format.

Well, not familiar with XPM formats, so I did not know...

XPM == "X Pixmap."
