[ROOT] Windows installation

Hi rooters and Rene,

If CERN has/buys InstallShield 6.x I will provide ROOT with InstallShield
binary installation for windows 95/98/NT/2000/PE (or provide Rene with one
click script to build root media).

If Fons provides a simple ShortPathToLongPath function eqviavalent to make
"C:\Program Files\" from "C:\Progra~1\" it would also be possible to install
root in C:\Program Files on win95/98, otherwise in the install script I can
prohibit long name install paths.

As far as I see I could not manage to install root in C:\Program Files\ on
win98 with "" or whatsoever.

I think Valery can help me with testing the script on NT in "local
user"/"administrator on-line" modes.

Regards,
Anton
