* **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.
