Moving from rosethorn/XOSD-xft_affirmations#1. Add Windows API stuff so this can be compiled and used on Windows too.

I don't know if it would be best to write it in a separate library, or either write it in separate files as part of this repository or in the same files with precompiler macros, but ideally I'd prefer it to be a single cross-platform library.

I'd personally prefer the single library too. There doesn't seem to be much in the way of this for Windows, and what little I can find out there just has people writing their own code to set up the on screen display, so why not have it all collected in one place?

Maybe we could start calling it XPOSD for Cross Platform On-Screen Display. :P

I don't really know how best to structure it, though. You'd all probably have a better idea.
