We are apparently writing our crash dumps to a access controlled area,
and that is CSIDL_PROGRAM_FILES.  (or in other words, that is the
normal install path of our game).

Needless to say, that is bad, and that is also why we have people say
they don't see a warzone2100.rpt file in their install directory, when
the game crashes.

We should be using CSIDL_PERSONAL for crash dumps, since this one is :
"User-specific game files that are read and modified and can be
manipulated outside of the game context. "

Therefore, if no objections, I will be making this change to our crash
handler, so it dumps everything in:  C:\Users\user
name\Documents\Warzone2100

This is where they talk about this stuff:

Will that be OK with everyone?
