Revamp of the Windows command-line parsing and puzzle-loading code.
The Windows puzzles now accept similar command-line syntax to the GTK ones, in that you can give them either a game ID (descriptive, random or just plain params) or the name of a save file. Unlike the GTK ones, however, the save file interpretation is tried first; this is because some puzzles (e.g. Black Box) will interpret any old string as a valid (if boring) game ID, and unlike the GTK puzzles it's not feasible to require users to disambiguate via a command-line option, because on Windows a thing that might easily happen is that a user passes a save file to a puzzle binary via 'Open With' in the GUI shell, where they don't get the chance to add extra options. In order to make this work sensibly in the all-in-one Windows app, I had to get round to another thing I've been planning to do for a while, which is to write a function to examine a saved game file and find out which puzzle it's for. So the combined Windows binary will auto-switch to the right game if you pass a save file on its command line, and also if you use Load while the program is running. Another utility function I needed is one to split the WinMain single command line string into argv. For this I've imported a copy of split_into_argv() from Windows PuTTY (which doesn't affect this package's list of copyright holders, since that function was all my own code anyway).
