Steve,

Thank for the quick reply. I changed the file .rc2.php to .rc2-php
because I thought that I have to give an unique file extension. 

The "Unkown target type RC2" is now gone, but still it complained that
it could locate "res\PRJNAME.rc2".

This will match files like *.rc2-php, not *.rc2.php, BTW.

Anyway, since there is no RC2 type, try creating it:
type.register RC2 : rc2 ;
