2022-07-23	Fix display of Unicode text.	John Ankarström
	Turns out that SWI-Prolog's wide string functions, which I started using in 03fe361, do not convert between narrow Prolog atoms and wide C strings, as I mistakenly thought. Instead, they work with wide Prolog atoms. In hindsight, it is not surprising.
2022-07-20	Simplify require, prefer.	John Ankarström

2022-07-20	Use GetLastError() as default for Win32Error.	John Ankarström

2022-07-20	Use template instead of Win32Error::twhat.	John Ankarström

2022-07-20	Fix bug in and rename throw_nil, warn_nil.	John Ankarström
	In warn_nil, the return value was undefined on exception -- I think. While informative, the names throw_nil and warn_nil don't work very well in conditionals: if (warn_nil<f>(...)) g(); sounds like g should be called if f returns nil and a warning is issued. But it is actually the other way around; g is called if f is successful. if (prefer<f>(...)) g(); sounds less like that.
2022-07-19	Check Windows API calls for errors more consistently.	John Ankarström
	Some of the checks are likely redundant, but the Windows API documentation rarely makes it clear WHICH errors may be returned (and under which circumstances) rather than simply WHETHER errors may be returned (under any circumstances, including those that do not apply in the given case).
2022-07-19	Formatting.	John Ankarström

2022-07-19	Add comments.	John Ankarström

2022-07-19	Remove EBMessageBoxA.	John Ankarström

2022-07-19	Implement centered message box.	John Ankarström

2022-07-18	Improve Library::GetProcAddress.	John Ankarström
	It isn't really more safe, but it removes the need for a confusing function pointer cast, which is easy to get wrong. As far as the compiler is concerned, the result is literally the same, but it does force the caller to (indirectly, via the template parameter) cast the return value, which may be a good thing.
2022-07-18	Solve compiler warnings.	John Ankarström

2022-07-18	Add Unicode support to Win32Error.	John Ankarström

2022-07-17	Prefer f() over f(void).	John Ankarström
	f(void) is a C-ism that is valid but unnecessary in C++.
2022-07-17	Update type names and variable prefixes.	John Ankarström

2022-07-17	Add const to pointers, update spacing.	John Ankarström
	It seems that "right-spaced" pointers are more widely used among C++ programmers.
2022-07-17	Add const to places.	John Ankarström
	Note that I did NOT add const to non-pointer/non-reference arguments in function declarations (without a following definition), as they do not mean anything there.
2022-07-17	Remove TsmFromSz.	John Ankarström
	If needed in the future, it is possible to simply copy it from the Git history.
2022-07-16	Rewrite TszFromSz as TsmFromSz.	John Ankarström
	I.e. using std::basic_string<TCHAR> instead of TCHAR *. This removes all unmanaged frees.
2022-07-15	Split defs.h into separate header files.	John Ankarström
	This is feasible now that the makedeps script exists to automatically manage build dependencies (see 6034fe2, d00f8b3).
2022-07-15	Add Win32Error exception class.	John Ankarström

2022-07-15	Add support for Prolog exceptions.	John Ankarström

2022-07-15	Replace Library::Load with try_make_unique template.	John Ankarström

2022-07-15	Change declaration style.	John Ankarström

2022-07-15	Add wrapper for LoadLibrary, FreeLibrary.	John Ankarström

2022-07-10	Convert to C++.	John Ankarström
	I already hit upon some object-oriented programming patterns in *listview.c, so I felt that it would be natural to use this as an opportunity to learn C++.
