Win32::GUI

All,

I just committed a few changes:

(1) Fixed icon definitions for balloon tooltips.  warning and error 
icons were swapped (reported by Brian Millham)

(2) We-wrote Textfield::GetLine.  It had been using the line number as 
both a line number and character index;  I'm also not convinced that it 
was allocating the right amount of memory, or behaving the right way for 
zero length lines. (reported by Perl Rob)

(3) I believe that I've got to the bottom of the

   (in cleanup) can't call "FETCH" on an undefined value at ...
   during global destruction

error that occasionally(often) happened - it down to the order of 
destruction of object during perl's final garbage sweep - I've added 
some code to our cleanup in GUI_Helpers.cpp to spot the problem, and 
avoid it. (Reported by many people over the years)

As an aside I now have a very good understanding of the tied interface 
provided to window objects by Win32::GUI::WindowProps. (as well as a 
better understanding of perl internals).  This tied interface is very 
hairy, and I will be seriously considering removing it in the future.

(4) Added a ReleaseNotes POD for v1.06, draft only right now.

I'd really appreciate feedback on whether I've fixed (3) - some of you 
must have scripts tucked away that generate this error, and where you'd 
undef'd globals to make the problem disappear - if you could comment out 
those undefs and see if the errors have really disappeared ... I'd like 
to see reports of ANY warnings or errors that happen during global 
destruction.

I'm not sure what my availability will be like in Feb/Mar, but I will 
spend some time in the next few days working out what I would like to 
get into a 1.06 release.  If you have suggestions, then please start a 
new thread on this list. (Jez, I'm painfully aware that I owe you some 
time for the ThreadUtils stuff we talked about last year)

A belated Happy New Year to you all,
Rob.
