Resources: insert identical resources above existing resources
Browse files Browse the repository at this point in the history
If you have two resources which aree exactly the same size,
insert_resource() currently inserts the new one below the existing one. 
This is wrong because there's no way to insert a resource of the same size
above an existing one.

I took this opportunity to rewrite the initial loop to be a for-loop
instead of a goto-loop and fix the documentation.
