•  When compiled with D2007 or newer, unit FileCtrl is not included.
• Call UniqueString before calling CreateProcessW.
• [Tommi Prami] Added types missing in Delphi 7.
• Added function DSiDisableStandby that will try to disable standby and hibernate on Windows XP SP 2 and newer.
• Define TStartupInfoW in Delphi 7 and earlier.
• DSiAddApplicationToFirewallExceptionList[Advanced|XP] got a new parameter
  TDSiFwResolveConflict (default rcDuplicate) where the caller can specify
  behaviour if the rule with the same name already exists.
  [rcDuplicate = add new rule with the same name, rcOverwrite = remove all rules
  with the same name and then add the new rule, rcSkip = leave existing rules
  intact and don't add the new rule]
• Implemented DSiFindApplicationInFirewallExceptionList[Advanced|XP].
• Bug fix in DSiAddApplicationToFirewallExceptionListAdvanced: setting rule.ServiceName to '' caused fwPolicy2.Rules.Add(rule) to raise exception.
