[svn-r13982] Purpose: Update Windows documentation
Description: The Windows documentation on generating H5tinit.c was lacking special instructions for Visual Studio 2005. Specifically, Windows does not support the function "siglongjmp". Previous versions of Visual Studio will ignore this function, but VS2005 produces an error. Tested: VS6 VNET VS2005
