Lasse Collin ad96a871a1 Windows: Add config.h for building liblzma with MSVC 2013.
This is for building liblzma. Building xz tool too requires
a little more work. Maybe it will be supported, but for most
MSVC users it's enough to be able to build liblzma.

C99 support in MSVC 2013 is almost usable which is a big
improvement over earlier versions. It's "almost" because
there's a dumb bug that breaks mixed declarations after
an "if" statements unless the "if" statement uses braces:

https://connect.microsoft.com/VisualStudio/feedback/details/808472/c99-support-of-mixed-declarations-and-statements-fails-with-certain-types-and-constructs

Hopefully it will get fixed. Then liblzma should be
compilable with MSVC 2013 without patching.

Lasse Collin 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.

Lasse Collin 3e321a3acd Remove doubled words from documentation and comments.
Spot candidates by running these commands:
  git ls-files |xargs perl -0777 -n \
    -e 'while (/\b(then?|[iao]n|i[fst]|but|f?or|at|and|[dt]o)\s+\1\b/gims)' \
    -e '{$n=($` =~ tr/\n/\n/ + 1); ($v=$&)=~s/\n/\\n/g; print "$ARGV:$n:$v\n"}'

Thanks to Jim Meyering for the original patch.

Lasse Collin 37c25658ef Build: Copy the example programs to $docdir/examples.
The example programs by Daniel Mealha Cabrita were included
in the git repository, but I had forgot to add them to
Makefile.am. Thus, they didn't get included in the source
package at all by "make dist".

Lasse Collin 71275457ca Windows: Make build.bash prefer MinGW-w32 over MinGW.
This is simply for licensing reasons. The 64-bit version
will be built with MinGW-w64 anyway (at least for now),
so using it also for 32-bit build allows using the same
copyright notice about the MinGW-w64/w32 runtime.

Note that using MinGW would require a copyright notice too,
because its runtime is not in the public domain either even
though MinGW's home page claims that it is public domain.
See <http://marc.info/?l=mingw-users&m=126489506214078>.

the other documentation files.

Lasse Collin 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.

Lasse Collin 07a11dad44 Updated windows/Makefile.
Thanks to Dan Shechter for the patch.

It is likely that windows/Makefile will be removed
completely, because Autotols based build nowadays
works well with both 32-bit and 64-bit MinGW (I
just need to update the docs).
