Patch to add a fake function for IOCTL_DISK_GET_MEDIA_TYPES and
IOCTL_STORAGE_GET_MEDIA_TYPES

The Office2000 installer and the later installed office programs call
IOCTL_STORAGE_GET_MEDIA_TYPES for device A: if present in wine. In current wine
(1.5.20) this is answered with IOCTL_STORAGE_GET_MEDIA_TYPES_EX. The wine
function IOCTL_STORAGE_GET_MEDIA_TYPES_EX delivers an incomplete structure of
type GET_MEDIA_TYPES whereas IOCTL_STORAGE_GET_MEDIA_TYPES delivers a structure
of type DISK_GEOMETRY, which is needed.
The patch solves the problem for me. It was also tested with the sample code
from: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/115828/en-us
According to the above web-page the DISK_GEOMETRY will also be delivered, if
there is no floppy in the drive. 
Since the usage of udisks in wine, drive A: is always present, if a floppy
drive is installed and activated in the BIOS. Before udisks drive A: was not
present in wine, until added manually. Office 2000 could be installed before
udisks even with an installed floppy drive without inserted floppy. This is not
the case in current wine.
