* modules/gui/skins2/win32/*: dynamically load AlphaBlend() as it isn't available on Win9x,NT4.

   Parent window created outside the screen so it isn't visible.

Could somebody (AsMaX, ipkiss) have a look at the AlphaBlend() function call in win32_graphics.cpp ? I'd like to use the AlphaBlend() we got from win32_factory.cpp.
