[svn-r14255] Purpose: Add h5tinit.c to default Windows build process

Description:
Previously, we provided a static h5tinit.c with our Windows distribution, and provided instructions to optionally generate it.  Now, we will incorporate it as part of the default build process, to emulate other platforms more closely.

Tested:

-========================================================================
-
-In HDF5, H5tinit.c is used to to describe the byte-order and floating point
-format of the current machine.  On Linux, this is automatically generated.
-On Windows, we provide it pre-genearated, although users may generate their own.
-
-It is recommended to generate H5tinit.c on your own if you are using any
-advanced configuration.  This might include:
-
-    - 64-bit Windows
-    - File systems other than NTFS
-    - Versions of Windows other than Windows XP
-    - Run-time libraries other than those distributed with Visual Studio
-    
-To generate your own H5tinit.c, follow the steps below.
-        
-    1. Open the solution typegen.sln from the folder .\windows\misc\typgen.  If
-       you plan on building Fortran libraries, open typegen_fortran.sln instead.
-        
-    2. Build solution
-    
-        You may build release or debug versions of the project, but make sure
-        the active platform configuration matches that of your system.  Go to
-        "Build", "Build soltuion".  This will generate and run the neccessary
-        scripts to produce H5tinit.c, and other configuration files for Fortran.
