Early test release of 2.1.9 (alpha1) for Windows

[David King <amigadave amigadave com>]

I have been working on getting the Windows port of EasyTAG working 
again, and I have a very early preview of the 2.1.9alpha1 release 
available for testing.

There are many problems, some more serious than others:

* A GIO error on startup. The error seems harmless, but is annoying.
* Missing icons, which can hopefully be fixed by including them in the 
 installer.
* No MP3 support. I got very frustrated trying to get id3lib to build, 
 and was unsuccessful, but this should be possible with some more work.
* No application icon, which should be another simple fix.
* Old artwork in the installer, which is merely cosmetic and should be 
 relatively easy to fix.
* Many more issues that I am not yet aware of.

The test installer can be downloaded at:

It was built with the MinGW toolchain on Fedora, using the available 
packages for most of the dependencies, with a few more being found on 
the Fedora Bugzilla.

Feedback would be useful (either on the mailing list or on Bugzilla) and 
if anyone wants to help with the Windows-specific changes, there is a 
branch on git.gnome.org which corresponds to this release:
