OK, although it might not be technically correct. I have no idea
whether ReactOS implements this debugging facility or not, but if it
does, then it is not right to name it "MS-Windows", since ReactOS is
neither MS, nor Windows.
I usually use "W32", because most of the time doing something with
WinAPI means interacting with Win32 subsystem, which, as i've
mentioned above, [is not/will not be] implemented exclusively by Windows.
Now, since GNU folks frown upon "win" in Win32, and naming it Woe32
sounds weird to me, i just use "W32".
Anyway, i've changed the patch.

Done.

Hopefully i didn't screw up texinfo file with wrong commands or
formatting.
