Segfault warning boxes on Win32

[Dan Sugalski]

Folks,

I just committed a patch to disable the "Your program has crashed, want to
send a report to Microsoft" box that pops up on Win32 when Parrot
segfaults -- it blocks the automated test builds which as you might expect
happens with some regularity. :) However I'm not sure if this ought be the
default for parrot. (Though definitely an option)

Not being a Windows Guy, I'll defer the question to folks that do windows
programming -- what should the default be (on or off) and why?

If it blocks the automated test builds, then just turning the box off is
okay. It must be admitted that, the truth is that I don't know anybody
who does send those reports

More important -- is the Segfault reported in any other manner. If
not, thats bad.

Then this shouldn't be off by default.

Turn it off for automated testing. But in general use, I think you
want this on.
