Global variables are bad(TM). With GetModuleHandle(NULL) there is no need
to maintain a global hInstance. The other reason is there is no WinMain
which has the hInstance parameter. So you'd require to set the global
hInstance somewhere else and you have to make sure this occurs before 
the first reference to hInstance. GetModuleHandle(NULL) was used explicitly
to reduce complexity.
