Proposed fix for this bug.

On Windows, you are able to navigate between the buttons on a MessageBox that was created using SDL_ShowMessageBox using the arrow keys. However, if you press the left arrow key, the selection jumps to the button on the right of the currently selected one (and vice versa).

This can be fixed by reversing the order in which the buttons are added to the dialog.

The attached patch files fixes this problem. However the first press of an arrow key leads to the selection of the leftmost or rightmost button on the MessageBox, not to the selection of the button left/right of the one that is selected by default.

Marking a large number of bugs with the "triage-2.0.4" keyword at once. Sorry if you got a lot of email from this. This is to help me sort through some bugs in regards to a 2.0.4 release. We may or may not fix this bug for 2.0.4, though!
