RFE #1659693 Exit Warning?
http://winmerge.org/rfe/1659693

This patch adds message shown to the user when there are two or more compare windows open and user closes the application.

This is indeed a good idea (I was originally against this):
- open folder compare(s) might take a long time to re-do. This might be a big waste of time for small error.
- user is asked for every modified file compare - that might be many dialogs to cancel so this is also a shortcut to that case.

First version of the patch does not have an option to enable/disable the message. I'm not sure if we need it at all?

    Attaching updated patch. This version has new option for enabling/disabling the question.

    Many users don't use folder compare at all, so the question is just annoyance for them.
