BUG: Memory Leak at CompilerGCC::PrepareCompileFilePM

[lights_joy]

in the release code of 12.11

Code

void CompilerGCC::PrepareCompileFilePM(wxFileName& file)
{
    // we 're called from a menu in ProjectManager
    // let's check the selected project...
    [color=red]FileTreeData* ftd = DoSwitchProjectTemporarily();[/color]
    ProjectFile* pf = ftd->GetProjectFile();
    if (!pf)
        return;

    file = pf->file;
    CheckProject();
}

the ftd pointer here is malloc in DoSwitchProjectTemporarily function, but no use here, so it MUST be deleted, or it will result in a memory leak!

Please check if this problem exists in the SVN sources and report back. Almost no one here is interested in 12.11 any more!

this bug still exists at 13.12.
everywhere call the DoSwitchProjectTemporarily function will cause a memory leak!!

This patch should fix the problem. I'll wait for a few day and if there are no objections I'll commit it.
