All other dependencies on ui/gtk/ have to go as well.

Remove GTK+ and global cfile dependencies from file_dlg_win32.c.

Move the declaration of set_last_open_dir() to ui/util.h. It still
has separate GTK+ and Qt implemenations. We might want to move it to
ui/util.c at some point. Remove a lot of unnecessary GTK+ includes.
Remove most of the references to the global cfile while we're at it.

We are stuck with technology when what we really want is just stuff that
works. Some say that should read Microsoft instead of technology.
