[RFC-v4] Fix .text section offset for windows DLL (was Calling __stdcall functions in the inferior)

[Pierre Muller]

  Hi Pedro,

  The values are indeed included in include/coff/pe.h header...
The problem is that coff-pe-read.c  was 
written completely without the use of this
header.
  Using that header would probably be better,
but would also require even more rewrite
of current code...

  I tried nevertheless to include coff/pe.h
I got an error about AOUTHDR not being defined,
which requires adding coff/external.h
but if I add that one, I get another error
that L_LNNO_SIZE must be defined...
And that one is defined in cpu specific files
coff/CPU.h

  This seems to mean that including pe.h is not that easy :(
