Not as soon as I wished but still:
I committed a basic native Windows Save As dialog with the side effect
that Geany compiles again with GEANY_USE_WIN32_DIALOG set.
The dialog should save files and work with file filters (which are
not sorted, yet). Though any other functionality from the GTK Save As
dialog is missing. I think I'll adapt most of the set/get initial
directory and filename logic but probably not much more.
Anyway, patches are welcome. Oh, and feedback. Especially about some of
my favourite features like Unicode filenames and such :).

This will be the next step. I hope to get it done in time before Geany
0.19.
