Port remainder of tools to Windows
Thanks to Erik G <erik@6809.org> for the patch.
Quoth Erik:
"As a thank you for putting up with my nonsense, I ported the remaining
binaries. Although I'm not using them (yet), I did verify that they work and
the changes are basically zero so I have confidence in them."

With LWTOOLS 4.0, a substantial reorganization of the project has occurred. This document serves to explain the reasoning behind the various changes. The most obvious change is that the gnu auto tools have been eliminated. While they proved useful for initial distribution of the software, particularly for construction of the win32 binaries, they have since proved to add an unacceptable level of complexity to every aspect of development from merely tinkering with source files to doing complete releases. Thus, the auto tools have been ditched in favour of specific hand tuned help where required. The other substantial change is that the source code repository has been recreated from scratch. The old repository was full of cruft from various revision control systems that were used over the years (CVS, Subversion, and Mercurial). It was felt that starting a new Mercurial repository with a completely clean slate would simplify matters substantially. Thus, the old repository now serves as an archive.
