Patch to add a manifest when compiled as a native Windows application

Following on from the patch in 1001963 (ConfigTool built as a native Windows
application using MinGW), it appears that in order to use the Cygwin tools for
building the application needs to be running with administrator rights. This
patch adds a manifest to the resources requesting these rights. Tested on
Windows-7 64-bit compiling with TDM-GCC 4.8.1

Finally got to the bottom of this and it seems that the administration issue is
related to the handling of Windows ACLs in Cygwin 1.7. The simplest solution
seems to be to add the 'noacl' option to the cygdrive mount point. A manifest
should probably still be included to avoid using the wxWidgets provided
default, but without requesting administrator rights. An updated patch is
attached
