[APBeta] Windows bug

[Robin Lauryssen-Mitchell]

Hi Paul,

Good work, looks like that one's squashed.  It looks like Aaron has a fix
for the compiler which is also good news.

A is back for the weekend :) Off to Langen (Germany) on Monday for three
days though :(

Back to figuring out how best to get ImageMagick working with AP.  Also
playing around with the CSharpFITS library.

Having fun
Robin

I have located and fixed/bypassed the bug. Woo hoo. No more separate  
Windows compiles (or should I say _remembering_ that I have to use the  
older compiler).
