[CastXML] CastXML Windows Installation

[michkapopoff at gmail.com]

Hi

some precisions about pygccxml. I am almost done with all the changes
for CastXML.

If you download the source code from the develop branch, you can try it out.
The last issue I have is supporting tr1/unordered_map
and tr1/unordered_sets with gcc, but if you don’t need this the current
version should be fine. There will be a 1.7.0 version soon.

Note that there are differences in the xml output between gccxml and castxml;
so there are of course some small differences when using pygccxml. I will update
the changelog to describe the changes, but they should only be minor for
most of the things.

The example has already been updated so you can see how to setup
pygccxml to use castxml:
