'INSTALL' Build on Win32

Hi,

I just built SVN from sources (trunk 9220) and recognized
a few minor things incorrect/missing in the INSTALL file:

==INSTALL
     Windows users should just get the pre-built package:
         http://www.gzip.org/zlib/contrib/zlib113-win32.zip
==
zlib1.1.3 is outdatet - as stated on the zlib site:
"Versions 1.1.4 and later fix a potential security problem. Any software
that is linked against or derived from an earlier version of zlib should
be upgraded immediately."
zlib 1.2.1 would be the most current lib.

The generated svn and neon makefiles link
against "zlibstat.lib", while the zlib 1.2.1 makefiles
only produce zlib.lib and zdll.lib by default.
I replaced the svn scripts to use zlib.lib and
it seems to work, but i'm not 100% sure about this.

INSTALL should also mention that awk.exe must be installed
somewhere in the binary search path of MSVC.
(I used GNU awk [renamed gawk.exe to awk.exe]
and put it directly into the system32 folder...)
did I miss a configure option for the awk path?

I used
"gen-make.py -t vcproj --with-openssl=openssl --with-zlib=zlib-1.2.1
--with-apr=apr --with-apr-util=apr-util --with-apr-iconv=apr-iconv"
as my svn build configuration.

I also ran most of the test-suite py scripts
and everything runs fine. :)

c.a.t.
