Fixes for building with MINGW64 (specifically http://tdm-gcc.tdragon.net/). Currently a few things are missing, themes and HTML rendering but it builds in both 32bit and 64bit mode. There are also warnings generated by gcc every time the source calls a Windows API macro. (unused result warning).

-- Special notes for version 2.4 --
Version 2.4 is starting a transition to Unicode on OS/2. Warp 4 and 
later have fairly decent support for UTF-8 via codepage 1208, however 
there are some known input problems, which shall be worked around
in future versions.  For English or non-input applications Unicode
is the recommended version, however for applications that have not 
been converted to UTF-8 or which are experiencing input problems,
a non-Unicode version of the DLL is included.
