* **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.
