[Tile-serving] [osm2pgsql] Providing Windows binaries/packages (#17)

[Vivien Deparday]

Hey @springmeyer and @onepremise , this is great. I was in the same boat, I am used to linux and OS X and I was trying to support users on windows and the build that is easily available by looking around is the old build 0.69 and we had all sort of issues. Just found this build and tried it (this version: https://vanguard.houghtonassociates.com/browse/OSM-OSM2PSQL-60/artifact) Here is our experience:
- trying default (copy paste from the QGIS gui) we got the error: 

    Error: Connection to database failed: could not connect to server: No such file or directory
    Is the server running locally and accepting 
    connections on Unix domain socket "/tmp/.s.PGSQL.5432"

- then we added -H localhost and we got:
```
Using built-in tag processing pipeline
Allocating memory for sparse node cache
Out of memory for sparse node cache, reduce --cache size
Error occurred, cleaning up
```

- so we tried --cache-strategy sparse but we got the following error:
```
Using built-in tag processing pipeline
Allocating memory for sparse node cache
Out of memory for sparse node cache, reduce --cache size
Error occurred, cleaning up

- finally it all worked with -H localhost --cache 400
A bit slow but the area was small and it worked well !!

I think this build should be more linked to and more advertised on the wiki and other places ! 

Thanks for the work !
