Also they did not work when using blender -R from
command line in 64-bit systems.
Issue was checking for wrong define which would
cause code to detect if the blender executable
functions under 32 bit emulation.
For 64bit executables this is false, leading
blender to believe we are operating under a 32bit
system, and registration would try to register
the 32bit thumbnailer.
This 32 bit dll is (correctly) missing for local
installs and from the new installer, thus no thumbnails.
now blenlib/BLI doesn't depend on any blenkern/BKE functions,
there are still some bad level includes but these are only to access G.background and the blender version define.
Not all file formats/calls are supported yet. It will be expended.
Please from now on use BLI_fopen, BLI_* for file manipulations.
For non-windows systems BLI_fopen just calls fopen.
For Windows, the utf-8 string is translated to utf-16 string in order to call UTF version of the function.

Fix [#26938] Blender Zoom not working after startup (Windows)
Reported by Ilija Boshkov
by applying patch [#26881] Fix for console disappearing in debug mode [Windows]
Submitted by Alexander Kuznetsov (AlexK)
The patch moves console toggling code into GHOST and improves on the toggling behaviour.
The patch changes handling of WM_SYSCOMMAND so that alt-key toggling isn't a problem anymore.

This patch introduces a switch -con and its longer version --start-console. When giving this on cmd-line you'll get the black console window. The new behaviour is to hide it by default. We'll still see briefly the console at startup and during exit, but that's something that cannot be changed.
If you start blender from a cmd.exe, the console will not be hidden.

Fix [#25473] 64bit Windows installer for version 2.56 is not working
patch submitted by Caleb (Dobz)
The thumbnail patch adds a thumb handler DLL that adds .blend thumbnail support in Windows Explorer. A -r option is added to do registration in background. The patch also improves icon building and metadata for blender.exe.
Caleb fixes and cleans up our installer to an acceptable state. The patch uses the new -r option to do the .blend extension and thumbnailer registration.
Thanks to both Caleb and Tom for their efforts!
- ignore MSVC warnings when FREE_WINDOWS is defined to quiet warnings.
- the CMake flags were not being set correctly making blender have weirdo colors (no -funsigned-char).
