Wow and I thought EM dev. was dead

�- Better windows support
� �- fixed various win32 build issues in fastfilereader and
rubyeventmachine extensions

works well on mingw now.

� �- friendlier error messages raised from the EM error_callback

Wasn't there an error_callback before that was nixed because it hurt the
speed somewhat?

Thanks for doing all that other stuff.
