Drives A: and B: assumed to be floppies, even though they may not be

Hi Stefan,

I've encountered a bug in TortoiseShell. It assumes that drives A: and B:
are floppy disks, but hard drives can be remapped to these drive letters in
Windows NT/200x/XP/Vista. For me, drive B: is a large RAID 5 volume; I
wanted it to precede C: which is my Windows system drive, and find this
mapping to be quite convenient (especially since my current motherboard's
BIOS doesn't even allow me to attach two floppy drives). But TortoiseShell
forces me to enable Icon Overlays for "Removable drives" and "Floppy drives
(A: B:)" to get them to work on my drive B:.

I didn't have this problem before upgrading to the latest version of
TortoiseSVN a while ago. Why was this change made?

I've created a tiny patch (attached) which should fix the problem, though I
am unable to compile TortoiseSVN at present.

Best regards,
David
