Hmm, I see the problem and I'm sure there is somewhere a perfect solution
out there. But for now I guess I just go through the code and clean up
objects manually... that's probably the fastest way. At least compared to
writing a wrapper around the device context and implementing an own
SelectObject function to keep track of those things.
