adding support for different windows compiler Eric kindly provided us with some makefiles for different windows compiler and also fixed some issues that came up while using those compilers.
updated INSTALL, NEWS and other files for new release cleaned up a bit and updated some information in the text files.
Merge commit 'v4.3.16' merged changes from Alessandro Scotti and H.G. Muller back into the main line. They changed quite a lot, so it's really more a merge of the changes from v2.4.7 to v2.4.8 into their code. This is the initial merge, there is probably a lot of cleanup that will follow. Once this is done, v4.4.0 will be released.
changes from H.G. Muller; version 4.3.14

Checked that this file is still up to date and added it to CVS. There have been no contributors of more than 15 lines since I last updated the file, but I expect more soon!
