Custom icons per window class/name patch

Hi Ralf,
I did some checking in between packing today and it was relatively simple
to get the res_class and res_name of a window in the winCreateWin function,
but the thing is you can't use any XLib calls: you're the server itself at
that point, and not a client!
I've done a quick-n-easy icon specifier, namely a file called
c:\windows\xwin.ini . It's a standard old format text INI file with the
[sections] being the class and identifiers=c:\file.ico being the keys.
If a res_name isn't matched, it uses the _default key for the icon. If
the res_class isn't matched, the default X icon is used...
Ex:
[XLoad]
_default=z:\tmp\xload.ico
[Fig]
_default=z:\tmp\xfig.ico
file_popup=z:\tmp\file.ico
Note you need Windoze paths since I call the API LoadImage() to get the ICO
into a handle. Use "xprop" to get the res_name and res_class of a window.
There are 2 new small files, I created them in because they need special
includes that the main files don't need or want.
Feel free to use this as a base to add a nicer UI and maybe use XPMs and other
image formats instead of plain Windoze .icos...
