Another Windows Beep of Death Fix

A new version of XSB is coming soon, but until then, Windows users need a new beep-of-death fix, so here it is.

Latest on the ATC Client

Not much to report on the ATC client. I've been working on a new version of XSB and meeting some deadlines for my other project (Targetware), so that's consumed the majority of my time.

I did switch from using an NSOpenGLView to a GLView subclass. This gives a lot more flexibility. The OpenGL context can be on multiple screens, it can have Cocoa controls on top, etc.

Right now I'm in the process of moving the drawing code from Immediate mode to Vertex Buffer Objects. It's an optimization that's completely unnecessary given the trivial requirements of a radar client, but Immediate Mode is slated to go away at some point, so better to change things to use the "right" way now.

I should get some more time near the end of the month to work on the client, and should have good things to report then.
