until now, the strings intended to be hardcoded into the binary,
such as directory names and build id, were passed unquoted, which
means they're interpreted by the preprocessor as C tokens, rather
than strings, which can result in all sorts of "interesting"
behaviour such as interpreting paths starting with // as C++-style
comment.
this was then worked around using a stringize macro which turned
the tokens into a string (if they happened to be in a compatible
format).

- Code specific to Windows was #ifdef'ed with _MSC_VER so it wasn't included with MinGW. So _MSC_VER is replaced with _WIN32.
- MinGW doesn't support _get_pgmptr() so it is necessary to directly call the Win32 function GetModuleFileName(). This implies including windows.h which in turn causes a name clash with the Win32 function SearchPath(). So the cc65 type SearchPath is renamed to SearchPaths.
In contrast to *IX it doesn't make much sense to add compile time defined
search paths to Windows binaries: There's no standard path like /usr/local/bin
(and there are no symbolic links to link from there to another location).
On the other hand it's (again in contrast to *IX) easy for Windows binaries
to determine their own paths. Therefore it's appropriate to make use of that
to add run time defined default search paths.
