I've updated some of the documenation and comments in
config/platform/win32. It's nothing fancy. There were some functions
that I legitimately could not figure out what they do, like
Parrot_stat_info_floatval, which I assume should return a 64-bit value
from stat, but currently only returns -1. I assume that this is just
not implemented, and so I haven't added documentation for them until
they are implemented.

Files updated are:

config/gen/platform/win32/dl.c
config/gen/platform/win32/env.c
config/gen/platform/win32/exec.c
config/gen/platform/win32/misc.c
config/gen/platform/win32/stat.c

The exception to my statement above occurs in dl.c, where I assume
Parrot_dlerror is supposed to return a NULL value (because that's the
return code from LoadLibrary when a file load fails). Some of the
documentation in that file depends on that assumption, so it may need
to be redone.

This is my first patch, so I appologize in advance if it is teh suxxor.
