[crossfire] Trouble building Windows client

[Nathaniel Kipps]

Hi all,

I've recently been attempting to get the Windows client built, and
have been having a number of issues. Thanks to the instructions at
http://xob.kapsi.fi/~makegho/trash/crossfire-win32.txt, and the
generous help of the folks in IRC, I am finally able to build a client
that works, but has one remaining flaw.

When the built client is run in it's own development environment,
everything is fine. But, when I pull the binaries, DLLs, and
supporting files out into another environment, such as a test machine,
the Preferences window no longer opens. There's no error, or message
in the console, no indication of problems, just that the dialog does
not actually appear.

If anyone has any input, that would be much appreciated. Also, if
anyone wants to try it for themselves, feel free to grab a rolled up
package here: https://drive.google.com/open?id=14ej1Hw37mxABcd60ZD7ULL5AKNmelTU_
