Added a template skeleton file for porting DW to other platforms.
Also added another error define and used the defines for the return codes in the template.
Updated the comments to be more accurate and include return code explanations.

This is an beta release of dynamic windows version 1.0.0. The current Dynamic Windows source base is relatively stable on OS/2, Windows, Linux, FreeBSD and Solaris. When the beta feature set is stable I will release a final. Known problems: Boxes don't adhere to ratios on Unix. Known limitations: It is not safe on all platforms to operate on widgets before they are packed. For portablity pack widgets before operating on them. On Windows a slider control will only work properly if it is the only slider in a box. If there is more than one slider control in a box then signals may get misdirected to the wrong control. On OS/2 and Windows MLE controls scrolled position may get corrupted when resizing. On Unix the window manager border is not a constant value so environment variables DW_BORDER_WIDTH and DW_BORDER_HEIGHT are used for proper positioning. Future features: Implementing a full set of controls. Most controls common to OS/2, Windows and GTK have been implemented. Although not all the functionality of the native controls have been integrated into Dynamic Windows. Documentation, I have all the functions relatively well documented in the source code but a developer's manual and online API reference will need to be written.
