[Project-managers] turn off windows popups in failing unit tests

[Ted Ralphs]

Yes, there are big differences between the MinGW windows.h and the MS 
windows.h. For one things, the MinGW version is open source :). 
Seriously, the MinGW one is just a completely separate implementation of 
the API and points to the appropriate functions in the MinGW libraries 
that replace the ones in the MSVC libraries.
