#128 windows file probe error reporting issues

The windows file probe writes "szSubblock" to output messages when an error occurs while collecting version information on a file. I think we want to output the value of the variable szSubblock.

The logic behind the reporting of errors when collecting the development_class on a file needs to be looked at. It appears as though when we report the development_class as not exiting we are ot consistently reporting a message on the item

    The code this bug refers to was revamped in r1336, on the printf_removal branch (which has since been reintegrated [r1357]). Error messages here now just give the leaf component of the version info path (e.g. "FileVersion", "CompanyName", etc). It no longer uses "szSubblock". The same commit also changed the code to get the development_class value. This bug description doesn't say exactly how the old code was wrong here, just that it had the appearance of some inconsistency... well, it looks right to me now :-P So I'm closing this out.
