0152f72bf6 Windows: Update the build script and README-Windows.txt.
The 32-bit build is now for i686 or newer because the
prebuilt MinGW-w64 toolchains include i686 code in the
executables even if one uses -march=i486.

The build script builds 32-bit SSE2 enabled version too.
Run-time detection of SSE2 support would be nice (on any OS)
but it's not implemented in XZ Utils yet.

6b44b4a775 Add native threading support on Windows.
Now liblzma only uses "mythread" functions and types
which are defined in mythread.h matching the desired
threading method.

Before Windows Vista, there is no direct equivalent to
pthread condition variables. Since this package doesn't
use pthread_cond_broadcast(), pre-Vista threading can
still be kept quite simple. The pre-Vista code doesn't
use anything that wasn't already available in Windows 95,
so the binaries should run even on Windows 95 if someone
happens to care.

8884e16864 Revise the Windows build files.
The old Makefile + config.h was deleted, because it
becomes outdated too easily and building with the
Autotools based build system works fine even on Windows.

windows/build.sh hasn't got much testing, but it should
work to build 32-bit x86 and x86-64 versions of XZ Utils
using MSYS, MinGW or MinGW-w32, and MinGW-w64.

windows/INSTALL-Windows.txt describes what packages are
needed and how to install them.

windows/README-Windows.txt is a readme file for the binary
package that build.sh hopefully builds.

There are no instructions about using Autotools for now,
so those using a git snapshot may want to run
"autoreconf -fi && ./configure && make mydist" on a UN*X
box and then copy the resulting .tar.gz to a Windows.
