Building nginx from Source on Windows

[Igal @ Lucee.org]

Thank you, Maxim!

I prefer to build with gcc if that is possible.  MS Visual C is a mess 
IMO.  As a Java developer I'm used to more intuitive tools and options, 
I guess.

I will try to add --with-select_module and hopefully that will do the 
trick.  I will report back once I have some findings.
