Rotated text in CAPI, Windows implementation

Having a similar need for rotated text as Arthur Lemmens, I implemented a different
solution using a Windows foreign function.  This provides for arbitrary text rotation,
plus justification in a rectangle similar to Arthur's.  Other Windows features could
be used if the function is modified.  However, there are potential problems mixing
this with DRAW-TEXT, such as different default fonts, and of course, it only works
in LWW.

The files are in the attached gzip-ed TAR file.  Included is a DLL for the foreign
function, so you can use this without a C++ compiler if my particular implementation
is acceptable.
