Changes from version 2.3:
Added support for MacOS 10.8 Mountain Lion.
Added fullscreen support on Mac for resizable windows on Lion.
Added UNICODE build mode on Windows allowing UTF-8 encoded text. ANSI builds are supported by removing -DUNICODE -D_UNICODE and -DAEROGLASS
Added support for antialiased drawing on Windows via GDI+.
Added UNICODE build mode on OS/2 using codepage 1208 (UTF-8) as the active codepage; Non-Unicode mode will use the default codepage.
Added support for Control-Click on Mac for button press events.
Added DW_POINTER() macro for casting parameters to (void *).
Added dw_box_unpack() and dw_box_unpack_at_index() for removing items from boxes without destroying them. Also allows removal of padding.
Added GBM (Generalized Bitmap Module) support for OS/2 and eCS for loading Non-OS/2 native file formats. GBM comes with eCS 1.2 and later. It is also available at http://hobbes.nmsu.edu
Added resizing HICNs to 24x24 max size on platforms which do not do it automatically (Mac and GTK). OS/2 and Windows limit the size.
Added toolbar control support to replace existing bitmap buttons on Windows.
Added dw_filesystem_set_column_title() to fill a hole in localization.
Added new optional UTF-8 parameter to the key press callback. This is a pointer to a UTF-8 string representing the key pressed. The buffer pointed to is only good for the duration of the callback.
Added UTF-8/Wide string conversion functions for Unicode buffer management.
