MDBTools built for 32-bit Windows using MSYS2

Thanks to https://github.com/lsgunth/mdbtools-win for getting this started!

Compiling Notes

I had the biggest struggles trying to figure out how to get this to compile, so if anyone has a better process using MSYS2 directly, please let me know.

This is what finally worked: mdbtools/mdbtools#107 (comment)

• Read https://github.com/mdbtools/mdbtools/blob/dev/README.md
• Clone https://github.com/git-for-windows/git-sdk-64
• Clone https://github.com/mdbtools/mdbtools into git-sdk-64 folder
• Launch MinGW32 (I just ran mingw32 from the git-sdk-64 folder)

cd mdbtools
autoreconf -i -f
./configure
make all
make install    # may not actually be necessary

• Test some of the commands inside MinGW32 to make sure they function; mdb-ver -M is a reasonable one
