Removed fixed problems from MS-Windows port section

what causes these problems; they are not reproducible by Emacs
developers.

* Known problems with the MS-Windows port of Emacs 21.2.

Emacs 21.2 built for MS-Windows doesn't support images and the tool bar.
Support for these will be added in future versions.

Frames are not refreshed while the File or Font dialog or a pop-up menu
is displayed. This also means help text for pop-up menu items is not
displayed at all.  This is because message handling under Windows is
synchronous, so we cannot handle repaint (or any other) messages while
waiting for a system function to return the result of the dialog or

means that Emacs can only interchange non-ASCII text with other
Windows programs if the characters are in the system codepage.
Reportedly, a partial solution is to install the Mule-UCS package and
set selection-coding-system to utf-16-le-dos.

The %h format specifier for format-time-string does not work on Windows.
The %b format specifier does not produce abbreviated month names with
consistent widths for some locales on some versions of Windows. This is
caused by a deficiency in the underlying system library function.

* The `configure' script doesn't find the jpeg library.

This can happen because the linker by default only looks for shared
libraries, but jpeg distribution by default doesn't build and doesn't
