Patch for Mozart on "Windows Vista"

[Boriss Mejias]

Hi Wolfgang,

Thanks for the contribution. We don't have a Vista machine to test your 
patch, but we will do what is possible for to make it publish in the 
mozart website. It will be the task of Vista users to provide feedback.

If you feel like making a whole package for Vista distribution, it would 
be really excellent... we currently use Inno Setup for the packaging, 
but I don't know if this also work for Vista.

best,
Boriss
