Bug 653841: Update README.win32 and VS README.txt's
This relates to my previous commit titled "add a script to generator files for building" on behalf of Shixin Zeng. Tell people about the availability of a python script to create the necessary files for a Visual C++ build from a GIT checkout. This is done with the courtesy of Shixin Zeng's python script which does the job and eliminates the troubles of getting a suitable shell environment to do the "make dist" job (which is especially not easy on Windows itself!)
