Minor code nitpicking with win32lib.ew

Derek, here are a few trivial coding changes 
I'd like to see in Win32lib.ew:

1. Remove the two dashes on the last line, 
    or add a \n character to that line. This triggers a bug in
    the binder for 2.3. It has been fixed for 2.4, but people
    will continue to encounter this for a while.

2. Do not have statements like:
    with trace
    without trace
    with profile
    without profile
    in released versions of win32lib.ew.
   The user of win32lib.ew should be free to choose full profiling
    or tracing (1 or 3) without interference from win32lib.ew

3. Replace the call to the WIN32 API ExitProcess, with abort(0).
    That way, the Euphoria interpreter will have a chance
     to do its final cleanup, including outputting the ex.pro
     profiling information and closing user files, including .dll's.
     As I vaguely recall, ExitProcess does not flush regular user files
     that were opened with open(), but never closed with close().
     The last few K of buffered data could be lost.

Thanks,
