 How about adding something like the following to the "default" target in
 the top-level Makefile:

 {{{
 ifneq ($(strip $(MINGW)),)
         find $(ARCH_DISTDIR) -type f -name '*.exe' | \
         while read file ; do \
             cmd=`basename "$$file" .exe` \
             sed "s/@CMD@/$$cmd/" generic.manifest > "$$file".manifest ; \
         done
 endif
 }}}

 For 7.0, I'd use a pattern rule for "%.exe.manifest" to build a manifest
 alongside any exe.

 It wouldn't be hard to allow the <description> field to be customised, but
 I'm not sure that really matters. The main thing is to shut UAC up.
