Load texture from resource file (.rc)

Is there a painless way to load a texture from a win32 resource file OR compile a texture into the executable. (Using VC2010 express).

I'm writing a little screen saver.

Easiest way IMO is to get the texture file, use a hex editor to convert it into a C array, and put that in a file in your code. Then you can point a memory file at the array and you're good to go.
