This ensures that the game won't silently fail to start if it can't initialize the filesystem. Instead, it will fail loudly by popping open a message box (using SDL_ShowSimpleMessageBox). The motivation for this comes from issue #1010 where this is likely to occur if the user has Controlled Folder Access enabled on Windows, but I didn't want to put in the work to specifically detect CFA (and not sure if it's even possible if it turns out that the OS just gives a standard "permission denied" in this case). At least any message box is better than silently failing but printing to console when most users don't know what a console is. Fixes #1010.
This is the source code to VVVVVV, version 2.0+. For more context about this release, see the announcement on Terry's blog!
