No, RESS is just for `.res' files -- see for example the file
tests/misc_tests/Mmakefile, which defines RESS to include
`pretty_print_test.res' and `mdemangle_test' even though there are no
executables named `pretty_print_test' or `mdemangle_test'.

If RESS were for `.res' files which have similarly named executables
then it would be named RES_FILES_WITH_SIMILARLY_NAMED_EXECUTABLES ;-)
