[PATCH] Warnings about WinXP pre SP1

NOTE: There's a form feed character on the first added line. I don't
know if it will be properly sent or not. You might want to add it back
as it's presence respects the format for the other entries.

+IV. PLATFORM SPECIFIC ISSUES
+ ========================
+
+ A. Windows XP
+ ----------
+
+ There is an error in the Windows XP TCP/IP stack which causes
+ corruption in certain cases. This problem is exposed only
+ through ra_dav.
+
+ The root of the matter is caused by duplicating file handles
+ between parent and child processes. The httpd Apache group
explains
+ this a lot better:
+ http://www.apache.org/dist/httpd/binaries/win32/#xpbug
+
+ This artile at Microsoft talks of the matter:
+ http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;EN-US;q317949
+
+ And the Subversion group has already encountered this bug:
+
http://subversion.tigris.org/servlets/ReadMsg?list=dev&msgId=185063
+
+ The only known workaround for now is to update to Windows XP SP1.
See
+ Karl Fogel's comments on this issue at:
+ http://subversion.tigris.org/servlets/ReadMsg?list=dev&msgNo=20652

+ B. Mac OS X
