mark@chromium.org 5951dd28af Eliminate another source of UnspecifiedStackSignature crash dumps.
Manufacturing an exception record improves the crash reporting, since then
the crashes get bucketed by the call stack leading to the dump, instead of 
all falling into a misc bucket that nobody ever looks at.
Currently these are occuring through e.g. dumps from the base watchdog.

Link against RtlCaptureContext, as the function has been documented as
available
from Windows XP

Breakpad is a set of client and server components which implement a
crash-reporting system.


-----
Getting started in 32-bit mode (from trunk)
Configure: CXXFLAGS=-m32 CFLAGS=-m32 CPPFLAGS=-m32 ./configure
    Build: make
     Test: make check
  Install: make install

If you need to reconfigure your build be sure to run "make distclean" first.

To request change review:
0. Get access to a read-write copy of source.
   Owners at http://code.google.com/p/google-breakpad/ are able to grant
   this access.

1. Check out a read-write copy of source using instructions at
   http://code.google.com/p/google-breakpad/source/checkout

2. Make changes. Build and test your changes.
   For core code like processor use methods above.
   For linux/mac/windows, there are test targets in each project file.

3. Download http://codereview.appspot.com/static/upload.py

4. Run upload.py from the 'src' directory:
   upload.py --server=breakpad.appspot.com

   You will be prompted for credential and a description.

5. At http://breakpad.appspot.com you'll find your issue listed; click on it,
   and select Publish+Mail, and enter in the code reviewer and CC
   google-breakpad-dev@googlegroups.com

6. When applying code review feedback, specify the '-i' option when running
   upload.py again and pass the issue number so it updates the existing issue,
   rather than creating a new one.
   Be sure to rerun upload.py from the same directory as you did for previous
   uploads to allow for proper diff calculations.
