MS-Windows-Specific Changes in Epsilon 14

On Windows, the dired file pattern *: now matches all local drives (but see the new drive-match-types variable), so you can use dired on *: and then descend into each drive.

Epsilon for Windows now moves and resizes itself at startup if needed to ensure it's visible on at least one monitor. The new -vf flag controls the details.

Epsilon for Windows now looks better on high DPI screens under Windows 10.

Epsilon for Windows can now overwrite hidden files.

The configure-epsilon command in Epsilon for Windows was reimplemented, and Epsilon now uses a different installation system under Windows. An installer that does not require Administrator privileges and performs a per-user install is now available separately.

The new session-restore-exclude-file-types variable may be used to tell Epsilon for Windows not to include network files or those on removable drives when saving a session file.

Epsilon for Windows now works around a Windows issue that prevents directly renaming directories to change their case.

The draw-column-markers variable in Epsilon for Windows now allows defining up to 100 column markers.
