If your goal is to develop cross platform then you've probably already
figured out this is a bad idea (no resource fork on Windows).  Better you
should store everything you can within the stack/s.

Again, removing items from the resource fork does not remove the fork
itself.  You either need to copy the stack onto a Windows box (forces
separation of the stack and the resource fork into separate files) or use a
tool.
