[Geany] New Windows build

mmmm, yes, sorry for that, i double checked and it works, i have now some
bug reports:

I downloaded the file:
http://files.uvena.de/geany/geany-0.13svn_r2091_win32.zip
and the build menu was disabled with a previously opened project ( with only
a main.c file ).
I have to open the main.c to compile it and run it.

In Project properties, to choose the file to be run (it shoulnd't be
necessary becouse when compiling the output file should have the project
name) it opens a windows open-dialog behind the properties-dialog and makes
some drawing problems when moving the open-dialog.
Also it starts with a filter to geany-project-files and it should be all
files to select a .exe file.

Second, the open, save, paths-selection, etc. dialogs are gtk'd dialogs, i
think that there should be some uniform design and in my opinion if you
could make all of it as windows dialogs it will be easier and cleaner for a
windows user, becouse gtk'd dialog are too diferent to windows dialog and
doesn't look or adapt so well as in linux.
An example. A gtk dialog can not follow shortcuts.

Third, when compiling or running a python scripts, it needs to be on the
path, but the python installer doesn't place it on the path. So, there are 3
options:
1) tell to place the python folder on the windows path.
2) ask for the python folder in some config dialog.
3) ask to the OS where is python installed automatically.

I think that, if the specified path in (2) is set to something, then use it
(imagine multiple versions of python in the system and the user wants to
test the program on all of them), and if it is not set do method (1), if
doesn't work, check for method (3).

Also the same process should be for any other interpreted language.

Cheers.
Diego
