[SDL] Re User Profile Path

[Patricia Curtis]

I have finished my game and it runs on all pre Vista windows systems no
problems but on Vista i had a crash on the exit which was the at the point
i saved my game. I was getting bug reports back from Oberon media stating
it crashes on vista and i started looking around the net for almost half a
day. it turns out that vista has even tighter privileges / restrictions,
probably to stop Joe blogs hitting you with some virus or porno link when
browsing the net. 
 
Anyhow to cut a long story short, Vista wont let you write to anywhere
except the users profile space with UAC off (no administrator rites) so
the best place is to write to directory you have made in Application data
within the users profile if that makes any sense.
