Summary: Windows File Chooser Default Folders

Initial Comment:
Depends on Patch #1115963 
 
The default path in the file chooser on Windows is 
very bizarre. It's a folder in the GTK directory. 
 
This patch selects sensible defaults.

A few observations:

my_received_files is never g_free'd.

We can't assume that users will be running the english
language version of windows ("My Received Files").

Wouldn't it be enough to generate the default value for
"/gaim/gtk/filelocations/last_open_folder" in this way,
rather than having the lookup in this function.  It seems to
me that this problem is only ever going to happen the first
time that the file chooser is opened, it should then
remember the last directory, right?

Daniel committed changes which conflict with this patch. I'll 
post a new version as soon as I can figure out why Gaim 
refuses to link for me in Windows.
