Unwanted resources in EXE and DLL

Hi.

    I'm sorry, but I didn't find appropriate newsgroup to post this
question to, and for my bad english, if it is.
    When I open any files (EXE or DLL), made in Delphi, with a resource
viewing program, I always see two resources of RCData type: DVCLAL and
PACKAGEINFO. The first is always constant for all files and the second
has something like this:

    Package Info (Delphi or C++ Builder)
    Flags:    never build
    Type:     library
    Compiler: produced with Delphi 4 or higher

    Contained Units:
      SpecList [ImplicitUnit]
      SpecString
      Windows [WeakUnit, OrgWeakUnit]
      System
      SysInit
      Types [ImplicitUnit]
      ...

These resources are unwanted in my programs.
What are they for?
Is it necessary (not for me, but for IDE) to include them in each
program, made in Delphi or C++ Builder?
How can I prevent their inclusion?

Jean.
