Clarify required steps to setup windows build environment.

The mingw website has changed quite a lot since the README
was written and some of the url's used in it were confusing.
I have changed the url's to point to the actual packages
on sourceforge (current at the time of this writing)
and added some extra details where I had trouble understanding
the actions to perform.

@@ -8,16 +8,28 @@ Before you start with the automated build, you have to complete these
steps manually. The directory variables are set in `defaults.sh' and optionally
`custom.sh'.
* Download MSYS (but *only* msys; no mingw and no msysdtk)
from http://www.mingw.org/download.shtml -> Current -> MSYS -> (bin, *.exe)
to $DOWNLOAD_DIR
Note: The mingw homepage is http://www.mingw.org. You can read more
about mingw over there. The packages to download are all
on sourceforge however, so the direct links are given here.
* Install MSYS (no postinstall)
to $MSYS_DIR
* Download MSYS from
https://sourceforge.net/projects/mingw/files/MSYS%20Base%20System/msys-1.0.11/MSYS-1.0.11.exe/download
to $DOWNLOAD_DIR
Note: there may be a more recent version available when you read this, use
whatever verion that is available. BUT: be sure to use MSYS-xyz.exe
(ie the MSYS installer) and not the *bin.tar.lzma. I got confused
the first time I tried, because directory msys-1.0.12 existed on
sourceforge, but it didn't have the windows installer. You should
use the installer, not try to unpack the -bin.tar.lzma files. So
choose whatever version that has got an installer.
* Download wget
from http://www.mingw.org/download.shtml -> Current -> mingwPORT -> (bin, wget-*)
to $DOWNLOAD_DIR
* Install MSYS into $MSYS_DIR.
* Download minwPORT's wget from
https://sourceforge.net/projects/mingw/files/mingwPORT/Current%20Releases/wget-1.9.1-mingwPORT.tar.bz2/download
to $DOWNLOAD_DIR
Note: the version number may have changed when you try this. Use whatever version
that is available
* Look at defaults.sh and create a file named custom.sh to specify adapted directory
variables. If you want verbose output of any script
