New Windows C++ library patch available

I have uploaded a new patch file for the Windows C++ library port. The  
main change was to make the stdint.h implementation configurable,  
since you might have chosen an implementation to use with other  
Windows libraries. I also undid some formatted output changes to test  
code, and also TFileTransport that were just wrong and didn't work on  
Windows.

There is a patch file available, and also a patched distribution zip  
file. You can find them here:

https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/THRIFT-591

This is the third version of the patch. At this point I have brought  
the Thrift library into our Windows build environment, and also  
brought in a library that uses it that was already building in our Mac  
environment. Those exercises were what prompted the two revisions to  
the code, so it should remain stable for a while. The only outstanding  
issue that I know of is that Windows Named Pipes sometimes disconnect,  
but I don't know why or how to fix them at this point. Maybe one of  
you will know.

I'm hoping that someone out there will give the Windows library a try  
and let me know how it works out for you.
