Signing a C++ executable in Visual Studio

Question

Is there a way to automatically sign a C++ executable generated by Visual Studio 2008? I couldn't find anything similar to the "signing" tab in Properties that exists for managed apps.

Any ideas? I want to automatically sign my executable when it's built (using msbuild command line).

Use signtool (http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/8s9b9yaz%28VS.80%29.aspx) in a post-build step
