Using Rainbow tables in Windows

[Metroshica]

So it's been a while, what's the status on Windows using Rainbow tables? I'm very excited if it's ready.

Working.

Mostly.

The command line expansion doesn't work properly in Windows like it does in Linux, so you have to specify each file instead of, say, "parts\NTLM*" or such.

I've only tested it on a single-GPU system. My plan is to test it on a multi-GPU box later this week, and then if it actually works, release the Windows bits this next weekend for testing (along with another Linux & OS X release).

Yeah... porting to Windows wasn't fun.

Once I figured out that I could use boost::threads as a more or less drop-in replacement for pthreads in my use case, and that 1.45 fixed some segfault bugs that 1.40 had in threading, it got a lot easier. I also ended up using boost mapped files on Windows instead of my normal mmap setup, as Windows lacks a posix mmap.

The last remaining bit is the "Handle Unix-style paths" - if I tell it "output/NTLM*," Windows doesn't expand the * properly, it seems. So, I'll need to do this manually.
