* **Added Windows support to pmdinfogen.**

  PMD information strings are added for Windows as well as for other OS.
  Extracting them from Windows DLLs is not yet supported. A build-time tool
  pmdinfogen is rewritten in Python, thus native compiler and libelf are not
  required for build machine anymore, but pyelftools build-time dependency is
  added.

Feel free to use and/or adjust.
