Reading eventlog entries on win32 with message resource support is now also
done, making the win32 implementation feature complete.

Now, all we need is approval from Miguel for: 

a) continueing to work on it (mostly for the unix message resource stuff)

b) adding EventLogMessages.dll to the binary distributions (for win32, and
linux too)

If we do not get approval for (b) (not sure why, but could be ofcourse),
then we could still embed the dll into the System assembly and extract it at
runtime (if it doesn't exist yet).  But I'd rather avoid this.

In what form should EventLogMessage.dll added to svn (and the source
distributions) ? Can we juist include it as is, or do we need to build it at
compile time ?
