Summary:
* Analyze PATH issues for win32 binary toolchain.

Details:
1. Analyze PATH issues for win32 binary toolchain.
  * gcc can not find the install dir if user set
PATH="INSTALL_DIR\bin" in dos cmdline, which leads to compile fail
since gcc can not find ../lib, ../libexec, etc.
  * Root cause: in dos, " is taken as part of dirs during set PATH,
which is different from cygwin or linux. And dir with " is invalid in
dos.
  * Work out a patch to filter " in function make_relative_prefix_1
and discuss it with Michael.
  * Create an windows install package, so users do not need to set
PATH. Will discuss more detail with Michael for the following
releases.
2. Read document to ramp-up on gcc.

Plans:
* Feb 6-10: Linaro Connect Q1.12

Best regards!
