[Bf-committers] Error compiling under win32 with GCC (maybe Cygwin's/MinGW's shell32 lib lacks SHGetSpecialFolderPath???)

Yes, this was caused by my commit yesterday, sorry for that. I've since then
worked on solving the issue.

This is the first thing you need to do, correct. Unfortunately for correct
inclusion of the
header shlobj.h -D_WIN32_IE=0x0400 has to be added to the CPPFLAGS too.
I'm working on solving the issue for the scons build with jesterKing and hope
someone
familiar with the makefiles can add it there too.

If adding this is not acceptable, I will disable the inclusion fo shlobj.h and
SHGetSpecialFolderPath
for FREE_WINDOWS.
