I picked winmain3, and now the GUI is fully merged in. Its mostly an empty
shell, but the last 4 items on the Machine menu work. I decided to ditch the
gui_menu_*() functions (they were too gtk-code dependent anyways), and I use
the menu that Sebastien created..

Fullscreen mode still works, but you won't see any of the GUI. That is only
drawn in windowed mode.

This still works. I also added support for winprefs3 but I don't actually call
it yet, so you won't see it. I'm planning on adding a check so the preference
window pops up if you don't pass any parameters on the command line.

New tarball attached with the needed files. This time there is only the one
patch that you need to apply.
