[syslinux] [ANNOUNCE] syslinux for win2k/winxp

[Lars Munch]

Hi

I have ported syslinux to win2k/winxp. It is attached.  It has been
tested with floppies and flashcards, but not on harddisks.

On harddisks I'm not sure if I should use \\.\PHYSICALDRIVEX or \\.\X:
as arguments to CreateFile (I'm no windows wiz) and I do not currently
have a system to test this on.

The program can be compiled using mingw or in cygwin using the option
-mno-cygwin (NOTE nasm on cygwin does not seem to generate a correct
ldlinux.bin so this should be done on Linux). The program also compiles
nicely using a Linux/mingw cross compiler.

I had to include most of syslxmod.c into my port since libsyslinux.a did
not compile due to all the header-files syslxmod.c includes (and not
seems
to need).

Comments are welcome.

Enjoy
