I believe the Microsoft Developer's Network includes all the available
documentation on the object formats. Last time I used it it was not
100% accurate, but it was useful.

This information may be contained in the fixups/relocation entries.

I'm not sure.

I know that IBM's VisualAge C++ for Windows and OS/2 did this in the
linker as of about 4 years ago -- but it used the OMF object format
and not MS-COFF as the compiler output.
