- Updated Windows build doc, very slight revision. Changed 37 targets to 38.

- Added plugins/imagehl to list of modules built (both Windows and Linux). Not really sure what this does, but it's the only module (as defined by stuff in plugins/ or contrib/) that exists and isn't currently part of the build. - The code to disable desktop composition in Windows has been moved from start of main() to an option in Preferences. The pref reads as follows: "NVIDIA/Aero bug - disable Windows composition". It is enabled by default. - Color themes controlled by "Misc" -> "Colors" -> "Themes" options are now saved as soon as you select them. The color theme is no longer clobbered when opening Preferences. - The ATI broken driver (bug #802) pref has been reworded since it applies to Intel cards as well. Before: "ATI cards with broken drivers - bug #802". After: "ATI and Intel cards w/ buggy drivers (disappearing polygons)". git-svn-id: svn://svn.icculus.org/gtkradiant/GtkRadiant/trunk@479 8a3a26a2-13c4-0310-b231-cf6edde360e5
