Improved windirs.GetWindowsSpecialDir is ready:
https://bugs.freepascal.org/view.php?id=33133
The submitted patch contains the following changes:
1. Added FOLDERID_* constants, required for SHGetKnownFolderPath.
2. Added mapping of legacy CSIDL_* constants to FOLDERID_* constants.
3. Overloaded GetWindowsSpecialDir to work with both CSIDL_* or
FOLDERID_* constants.
4. Changed GetWindowsSpecialDir to fallback to an alternative API (using
appropriate remapping of parameters) when the default API function is
not available.
Existing code that uses GetWindowsSpecialDir(CSIDL_*) should not be
affected, except for an improved forward compatibility when the
deprecated SHGetFolderPath is finally removed from Windows API, in which
case a newer API function will be used automatically.

A proposal:
1) Use windirs.GetWindowsSpecialDir in fpttf.pp, which already
uses a more backwards compatible SHGetFolderPath().
2) Optionally, improve windirs.GetWindowsSpecialDir to use a newer
SHGetKnownFolderPath() when it is available.
If this is suitable, I can produce a patch for both.
I would be in favor of this, especially as it hides the gritty details
from fpttf.pp.
Report them as two separate issues, please.
