| $sGDIPDLL | [optional] the filename of the dll to be used. Default is the installed GDI Dll. |

| Success: | True or a handle to the opened GDI Dll if $bRetDllHandle = True. |

Call _GDIPlus_Startup() before you create any GDI+ objects.
If GDI+ V1.1 functions are available @extended will be set to value greater than 5.
For Vista or Server 2008 the $sGDIPDLL must be defined. The gdiplus.dll can be found in @WindowsDir & "\winsxs\*.gdiplus*\gdiplus.dll"
