Windows Executable File Dump Routines

The Microsoft "PE" executable format is used for
all Windows executables (.exe), libraries (.dll), 
screen savers (.scr), and likely several other 
file formats.  MS-DOS executables (also named .exe)
do not include a PE record, and hence will not 
be parsed properly.

dump_generic.cpp is a self-contained C++ program
to read and display selected information from any 
PE file.  It's also a good example of binary I/O
for a complicated file format, done in a portable way.

dump_win32.cpp displays the same information as dump_generic,
but does so using the Microsoft "image helper" library,
and hence only runs on Windows machines.
