It patches GetResource so that when called with a resource type='WDEF' and id=0,
it returns a handle to a custom WDEF.
The custom WDEF is loaded into the system heap and detached from the INITs resource
file (so that it stays around after the file is closed).
For some reason, this INIT also patches LoadResource. It seems that patching
GetResource ought to be adequate. Does anyone know why LoadResource is patched
as well?
