Simplified Windows API library

[kornalius]

As many of you know, we are trying to make PPL a very*easy to use programming language. We've spent a lot of time applying this mentality to the language syntax and compiler/interpreter. However we neglected the windows api programming for GUI applications a bit.</p>

This is no more true with the Simplified Windows API library that we have just created. We took some of the functions that were there already and grouped them all into a nice simple library. This library will grow with time and will just get better.</p>

Here is an overview of what to expect in this library:</p><pre>proc ComboBox_Clear(combobox$)

HUGE! :)

Will get bigger before release too. I will have more functions checkbox, radiobox, editbox, buttons etc...
