Title: fix .3DS error "Chunk is too large" with gcc >=4.7.0 / mingw

GCC 4.7.0 breaks __attribute__((packed)):
http://www.bttr-software.de/forum/mix_entry.php?id=11767

see also the gcc 4.7.0 changelog: http://gcc.gnu.org/gcc-4.7/changes.html

"Windows mingw targets are using the -mms-bitfields option by default."

not sure if my fix is the cleanest approach, but it seems to work... gcc_struct seems to exist since gcc 3.4
