Move Windows port to MinGW
- Add calls to WSAStartup in the network code as required by
Winsock.
- Add Windows-specific init_random_state function which uses the
Crypto API.
- Move Windows port to MinGW and update build system to create a
64-bit binary by default.
- Install text files as .rtf so they won't open in Notepad by default
(Wordpad understands Unix line endings; Notepad doesn't).
- Simplify WiX installer code.

-On Windows Cygwin (http://www.cygwin.com) is required with at least
-devel/gcc4 and devel/make installed in order to build fio, and
-admin/cygrunsrv to run it. You can also install devel/git to fetch/update
-the source files. To create an MSI installer package put a copy of Cygwin
-in os\windows\fio, install WiX 3.6 from http://wix.sourceforge.net/releases/
-and run dobuild.cmd from the os/windows directory.
-
-Before running fio you'll need to have a copy of cygserver running. Run
-"/usr/bin/cygserver-config" from an elevated Cygwin shell (i.e. launch the
-Cygwin shell under the Administrator account) to configure it. Once
-configured, run "net start cygserver" to start it, or type
-"/usr/sbin/cygserver &" in the Cygwin shell to start a local copy.
-
-If fio exits with the message "Bad system call" it normally means that
-Cygserver isn't running.
