gthumb won't work under Windows

[GoogleCodeExporter]

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Try adaptmaptest.c.

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
I expect to see all the junk_write_display* files I think.
Nothing.

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
leptonlib-1.63.
Microsoft Visual Studio 2008 SP1 with latest updates also applied.
Windows XP Pro SP3.

Please provide any additional information below.
Unfortunately, all prog programs that do something like:
    system("gthumb junk_write_display* &");

will have to be changed to something like this to work under Windows:    

    pixDisplayMultipleImages("junk_write_display*");

where pixDisplayMultipleImages() is something like:

/*!
 *  pixDisplayMultipleImages()
 *
 *      Input:  filepattern
 *      Return: 0 if OK; 1 on error
 */
l_int32
pixDisplayMultipleImages(const char  *filepattern)
{
char            buffer[L_BUF_SIZE];
#ifdef WIN32
char        pathname[MAX_PATH];
char        *dir;
char            *tail;
#endif

    PROCNAME("pixDisplayMultiple");

    if (!filepattern || strlen(filepattern) == 0)
        return ERROR_INT("filepattern not defined", procName, 1);

#ifndef COMPILER_MSVC
    snprintf(buffer, L_BUF_SIZE, "gthumb %s &", filepattern);
    system(buffer);
#else
    // irFanView wants absolute path for directory
    _fullpath(pathname, filepattern, sizeof(pathname));
    splitPathAtDirectory(pathname, &dir, &tail);

    snprintf(buffer, L_BUF_SIZE,
             "i_view32.exe \"%s\" /filepattern=\"%s\" /thumbs",
         dir, tail);
    system(buffer);
    FREE(dir);
    FREE(tail);
#endif

    return 0;
}

(As it turns out _fullpath will automatically change / to \ if necessary so
this should still work even if filepattern contains the wrong style pathsep
chars.)

Thank you.  Very good suggestion!

This is now in writefile.c (attached) and will be in 1.64.

Still to do: upgrade all the programs that explicitly call gthumb.
All files will be written to /tmp, rather than the current directory.
These changes will be incorporated into 1.64.
