[photran] solution for "Error launching external scanner info generator (gcc -E -P -v -dD ..."

Hi folks,

I have at last found on the net a solution for a problem that I had with
some recent installation of Photran 4.0.3 beta on Windows (starting from
scratch) and not on Linux:
I could not compile anything may it be with managed make or with a
makefile due to errors of the type
"Error launching external scanner info generator (gcc -E -P -v -dD C:/..."
occurring before a single line of the Makefile was read.
Since I wasted quite a lot of time on that, suspecting wrongly the PATH
variables before doing some google search, I want to disseminate the
solution !

I removed the org.eclipse.cdt.core.win32_4.0.0.200709241202.jar file
from the plugins directory and the problem was gone (at least for
projects using a Makefile).
Surprisingly it works without that win32 specific file !!!

I took inspiration from:
http://dev.eclipse.org/newslists/news.eclipse.tools.cdt/msg13777.html :
" I downloaded master cdt 4.0 zip file and deletes jars, which are not
for my platform (win32). But the error still occurs. So I downloaded the
special C++ Europa Package without Java support. It works. So I compare
the plugin & feature directory from the two releases. With try & error I
find out that the org.eclipse.cdt.core.win32_4.0.0.200706261300.jar
produce the problem. I don't no why, but after deleted the jar all is fine!"
