20100309 Breakpoint demolog, day 34: VSTi+Renoise working again

I managed to compile the VST instrument for Windows. There were some odd differences between Linux and Windows in the main.cpp side of things, so at the end I just made a new main_windows.cpp and forgot about trying to wrap incompatible things with #ifdef/#endif pairs.
