There's a free utility called "wumpbin"
(http://www.benf.org/other/wumpbin/) which claims to be a clone of VS
dumpbin.exe. AFAICT it works on Win7, but I don't have Win10 available
to try it there. And I can't vouch for its accuracy - I have only toyed
with it.

dumpbin itself appears to be deprecated. It's still in VS and it still
works, but "link /dump ..." is now the preferred method.
