INSTALL: MSVC++ compilation instructions

Browse source 
Update compilation instructions for MSVC++, and point out that it's
not just Unix systems which can use the GNU instructions -- it also
applies to MacOS X and Windows with either Cygwin or MinGW.

1. Installing nasm from source (Unix, MacOS X, Windows/Cygwin, Windows/MinGW)
=============================================================================
Installing nasm is pretty straightforward on Unix or Unix-like systems
with Perl and GNU tools installed, including MinGW for Windows with
MSYS installed. Perl is optional for compiling unmodified sources
from a tarball, but is required to build from git or for most source
modifications.
If you checked out source from git you will need to run autoconf to
generate configure, otherwise you don't have to.

Thats it, enjoy!
PS. Installation instructions for other platforms are underway.
2. Installing nasm from source (Windows/MS Visual C++)
======================================================
The recommended compiler for NASM on Windows is MinGW
(http://www.mingw.org), but it is also possible to compile with
Microsoft Visual C++ (tested with Visual C++ 2005 Express Edition.)
To do so, start the "Visual C++ Command Shell", go to the directory
where the NASM source code was extracted, and run:
> nmake /f Mkfiles/msvc.mak
We recommend MinGW over Visual C++ 2005 as we have found it to be more
up to date with regards to C99 compliance, and we are increasingly
using C99 features in NASM.
