[AD] MingW makefile patch + dialog->dp problem

[varobert@xxxxxxxxxx]

Ok, here's a patch (my first, so it may not even work!) for makefile.mgw so 
it can compile the grabber as a GUI program and not a console. This works 
perfectly here, so tell me if there's any problem with it.


Also, the problem with casting (char*) to (void*) in DIALOG structures: 
it's not the casting the problem, but rather the conversion from (CONST 
char*) to (void*): There's a loss of constantness the compiler can't handle 
! This holds true for ALL functions that take char* as arguments to which 
you are sending a string, so even a unicode function will fail to compile ! 
I have even tried using the -fwritable-strings option, but to no avail... 
Any suggestions ?
