    // MSW-specific methods

    // This class supposes that data, plugins &c files are located under the
    // program directory which is the directory containing the application
    // binary itself. But sometimes this binary may be in a subdirectory of the
    // main program directory, e.g. this happens in at least the following
    // common cases:
    //  1. The program is in "bin" subdirectory of the installation directory.
    //  2. The program is in "debug" subdirectory of the directory containing
    //     sources and data files during development
    //
    // By calling this function you instruct the class to remove the last
    // component of the path if it matches its argument. Notice that it may be
    // called more than once, e.g. you can call both IgnoreAppSubDir("bin") and
    // IgnoreAppSubDir("debug") to take care of both production and development
    // cases above but that each call will only remove the last path component.
    // Finally note that the argument can contain wild cards so you can also
    // call IgnoreAppSubDir("vc*msw*") to ignore all build directories at once
    // when using wxWidgets-inspired output directories names.
    void IgnoreAppSubDir(const wxString& subdirPattern);

    // This function is used to ignore all common build directories and is
    // called from the ctor -- use DontIgnoreAppSubDir() to undo this.
    void IgnoreAppBuildSubDirs();

    // Undo the effects of all preceding IgnoreAppSubDir() calls.
    void DontIgnoreAppSubDir();
