<title>win32: add a config for 32-bit build with Unicode</title>

<id>urn:sha1:208649d7b5e27e5473f72381827364e4cfc0fc17</id>
<content type='text'>
Now that a binary with a UTF-8 manifest can run on Windows XP
it's possible to configure a build which supports Unicode on
Windows 10+ but which still runs on legacy systems.

- Add the config file mingw32w_defconfig.  This is a 32-bit build
  with the UTF-8 manifest which also runs on legacy systems.

- A new config option, FEATURE_FAIL_IF_UTF8_MANIFEST_UNSUPPORTED,
  allows the check for legacy systems to be skipped.

- An incompatibility with Windows XP in writeCon_utf8() has been
  fixed.

See this GitHub issue for details:

<title>make: support GNU/BSD suffixes and inference rules</title>

<id>urn:sha1:85bbce87d6428fbc6a8bf7126988c4458a033727</id>
<content type='text'>
The specification of inference rules in POSIX implies that only
suffixes starting with a period and containing no other periods
are to be considered.

In contrast, both GNU and BSD make allow suffixes to contain an
arbitrary number of periods, or none at all.  Allow this as an
extension.

Adds 640-816 bytes.

POSIX generally requires normal output to go to stdout and
diagnostic (i.e. error) output to go to stderr.

When usage messages for BusyBox applets are specifically requested
by the user (e.g. 'find --help') they should go to stdout; when
they're emitted due to an error they should go to stderr.
