[MPlayer-dev-eng] [PATCH] Make GetModuleHandle(NULL) return a valid pointer

[Steinar H. Gunderson]

GetModuleHandle(NULL) doesn't actually return a handle in Windows; in
practice, it returns a pointer to the base of the image mapped into memory.
(It may be that Windows 7 changes this behavior, though; I've seen
indications to that but haven't checked myself.) Some codecs expect to
be able to take this adderss and check for a PE header there; thus, return 
0x10000000 instead of 1, which at least has a pretty big chance of containing
a PE header, given that it's the default DLL load address.
