INSTALL: remove the native win32 build notes

Outdated and should not be maintained as there are
many levels of complications.

The NOT RECOMMENDED note should suffice.

------------------------------
This is NOT RECOMMENDED. To the best of our knowledge there is one single
person who regularly does this (and he provided these instructions). The
Subsurface team does not provide support for Windows binary build from
sources...
1) Install msys-git:
http://msysgit.github.io
Tools part of MSYS are required for building Subsurface, while you also
need Git to be upstream and contribute to the project.
Make sure that the msys/bin (or git/bin) folder is in PATH.
2) Install Qt
http://qt-project.org/downloads
Subsurface is currently built against Qt 4.8.5.
3) Install a MinGW toolchain
https://docs.google.com/open?id=0B4D8x6CJEmtuczdiQklwMEs4RUU
Qt 4.8.5 comes without a compiler and you will have to download it from
a separate location. Other compiler may work, but there are no guaranties for
that. Make sure that the mingw/bin folder is in PATH.
4) Install Libdivecomputer
Use similar steps to the previous section, without the sudo command.
5) Install CMake (required for building Marble):
http://www.cmake.org/cmake/resources/software.html
Make sure that the cmake/bin folder is in PATH.
5) Download and build Marble
http://marble.kde.org/sources.php
http://techbase.kde.org/Projects/Marble/WindowsCompiling#Compiling_Marble_using_MingW
Make sure you build both the Debug and Release versions.
6) Install pkg-config
http://ftp.gnome.org/pub/gnome/binaries/win32/dependencies/pkg-config_0.26-1_win32.zip
pkg-config depends on DLL files such as libglib-2.0-0.dll and has to be in
PATH, so it's best that you copy the executable to msys/bin.
7) Install other dependencies
Subsurface also depends on the following libraries:
* libxml2
http://www.xmlsoft.org/downloads.html
* libxslt
http://xmlsoft.org/XSLT/
* libusb-1.0
http://sourceforge.net/apps/trac/libusb-win32/wiki
* zlib
http://www.zlib.net/
* libzip
http://www.nih.at/libzip/
Once you have the libraries, create .pc files (pkg-config) for them and place
the files in a folder that is indicated by the PKG_CONFIG_PATH environment
variable - e.g. PKG_CONFIG_PATH=c:\msys\pkg-config
To build subsurface, use:
$ git clone git://subsurface-divelog.org/subsurface.git
$ cd subsurface
$ qmake
$ make
$ make install
$ make installer
