[mpich-discuss] install + config on windows

Hi Benoit,

As our support for Windows platforms has been discontinued, we cannot 
guarantee MPICH is going to be able to be compiled in newer versions of the 
Windows compilers and/or the operating system itself. Unless Jayesh has any 
comments on this regard, I'm not aware of any experience of MPICH + Windows 7.

I apologize for the inconvenience.

Thanks,
  Antonio
