Re: GNUbg version 1.08.001 available

1) SAVING SETTINGS: I have also had the problem of gnubg 1.08 not saving 
settings, or rather, reporting that it is saving them but not loading 
them. Reinstalling gnubg doesn't help. It only worked for me once I 
selected to remove all of my preferences during the installation process 
(you need to make sacrifices to help debug!). I noticed in the faulty 
installation that I had both a ".gnubgautorc" and a "gnubgautorc" file 
in my preferences folder. This may be the reason: it may save in one 
file and read from the other. I tried to correct the error in gnubg.c, 
but cannot do it due to the 2nd problem below:

2) WINDOWS COMPILATION: I cannot compile and run gnubg 1.08 on Windows 
using MSYS2. Once compiled, gnubg cannot open any of its needed files 
(MET, weights, textures, etc). Jon kindly helped and encountered the 
same issue on his computer. He mentioned it could be an issue with 
g_fopen. Any idea anyone?
