SpecialFolderPath("resources") workaround for Windows

[Paul Dupuis]

On OSX, any folders/file you have in the "Copy Files" tab of the
Standalone builder settings are copied to:

Under OSX: HyperRESEARCH.app/Contents/Resources/_MacOS/
i.e. in the _MacOS folder of the Resources folder of the Contents folder
inside the .app bundle

Under Windows, they are placed in the same folder as the .exe standalone
and to the filename property of the mainstack of the standalone (with
the file name removed) provides the path.

I do now realise from Klaus and Phil that the Standalone maker for Windows will put the resources with the actual .exe file of the application, so like them I will make up my own resources path. Let’s hope it doesn’t change over time like Apple’s did.
