/*
Windows requires a manifest file to enable Common Controls version 6.
The only way to not require an external manifest is to synthesize the manifest ourselves.
We can use the activation context API to load it at runtime.

- http://support.microsoft.com/kb/830033
Because neither Go nor MinGW have ways to compile in resources like this (as far as I know), we have to do the work ourselves.
