diff image error

Yes, indeed the requirements list is important information for those using
the windows, yet the windows binaries packages do not even include
INSTALL.markdown.  I think I should have a INSTALL-windows.markdown with
specific instructions for windows binaries packages.

I'm surprised about the missing msvcr71.dll though.  The Apitrace binaries
I make available in
http://people.freedesktop.org/~jrfonseca/apitrace/statically link the
CRT.

Note you don't need to use Python 2.7 exactly: any 2.7.x should work fine.
Actually it's probably better to install the latest
https://www.python.org/download/releases/2.7.6/ if you haven't done so.
