Fix [#25473] 64bit Windows installer for version 2.56 is not working
patch submitted by Caleb (Dobz)
The thumbnail patch adds a thumb handler DLL that adds .blend thumbnail support in Windows Explorer. A -r option is added to do registration in background. The patch also improves icon building and metadata for blender.exe.
Caleb fixes and cleans up our installer to an acceptable state. The patch uses the new -r option to do the .blend extension and thumbnailer registration.
Thanks to both Caleb and Tom for their efforts!
* further cleaning of 'player' stuff. Now only 3 libs are remaining, of which ideally the stubs lib will be fixed at some point, fading away into the dark history of not-so-nice code. The current blenderplayer part is still a little bit hackish, I'll see if I can find a better alternative, for now it works good enough.
* Small CVS surgery, winblender_scons.rc renamed to winblender.rcscons on repository
and change also in this SConscript. In case it was not yet clear as why there is a second
resource file with the same icons: the SCons RES() function needs the paths to be able
to generate the proper resource object. Change suggested by Joseph Eagar to prevent
problems with the Makefiles.
