Updated README.win32 and VS9 Readme.txt
-Set README.win32 to have Windows EOL -Updated README.win32 regarding the situation of modules on Windows under different build approaches. -Tell people in both Readme files about the GNOME Live! page that describes building Pango and its dependencies with Visual Studio in better detail.

-The Pango backends written for Win32 is pangowin32. Pangowin32 uses
-the Win32 GDI font API. GTK+ 2.8 and later on Win32 however actually
-uses the pangocairo backend (which then uses only small parts of
-pangowin32). Much of the GDI font API calls are in cairo.
-
-The pangoft2 backend was originally written with Win32 in mind, but
-its main use nowadays is on other platforms than Win32.
-
-There are three ways to build Pango for Win32:
-
-1) Use gcc (mingw), libtool, make, like on Unix.
-
-If building from git, run the autogen.sh script that runs aclocal,
-automake, autoconf and configure to build makefiles etc. This is what
-tml@novell.com uses. Pass the same switches to autogen.sh that you
-would pass to the configure script.
-
-If building from a tarball, just running the configure script and then
-make should be enough. But, as always, you need to understand what is
-happening and follow the progress in case manual intervention is
-needed.
-
-tml ran the configure script like this when building binaries for
-Pango 1.10.0:
-
-PATH=/devel/dist/glib-2.8.0/bin:$PATH ACLOCAL_FLAGS="-I /devel/dist/glib-2.8.0/share/aclocal" PKG_CONFIG_PATH=/devel/dist/glib-2.8.0/lib/pkgconfig:$PKG_CONFIG_PATH CC='gcc -mtune=pentium3' CPPFLAGS='-I/opt/gnu/include' LDFLAGS='-L/opt/gnu/lib' CFLAGS=-O ./configure --disable-gtk-doc --without-x --prefix=c:/devel/target/pango-1.10.0
-
-2) Use Visual Studio 2008. Use the solution file in
-build/win32/vs9. See the README.txt there for more information.
-
-3) Use MSVC and nmake. Use the makefile.msc makefiles. These makefiles
-are supported by Hans Breuer. They requires manual editing. You need
-to have the source code to some suitable version of glib in a sibling

+Please note that approaches 2 and 3 (involving building with MSVC) will
+build Pango modules directly into the main Pango, PangoWin32 and
+(if applicable) PangoFT2 DLLs-the GCC builds will build each Pango module
+as a seperate DLL.
