Problem importing OSGB36 shapefiles (e.g. OS Vector)

Hi All,

Issue #3119 made me aware that it is not possible for Windows users to use OS 
Vector shapefiles.
This originates from the fact that GDAL needs some data files when the 
shapefile is in OSGB36 projection. Those files were installed on my Windows dev 
machine, so I didn't detect the issue.

If you want to use OS Vector data in Merkaartor on Windows, you will have to 
download and unzip http://merkaartor.be/attachments/download/59/gdal-data.zip 
and set an environment variable *GDAL_DATA*, pointing to the directory 
containing the files.

Linux users shouldn't be affected, as they normally have the full GDAL package 
installed. I'm not sure about OSX but they might be affected as well.
I would suggest for Windows nightlies to wait that I solve the issue in GIT.

Sorry for the incovenience.
