[Patch] Enabling entropy gathering with Tool Help on Windows 2000

GnuPG uses the Tool Help library for gathering entropy only when
running on Windows 9x. However, this API is also available on Windows
NT 5.0 and later. The following patch (against 1.0.6)
o Renames the function slow_gatherer_windows95 to
slow_gatherer_toolhelp
o Calls slow_gatherer_toolhelp in addition to
slow_gatherer_windowsNT if NT version >= 5
I am not sure how much this helps, but I suppose collecting more
entropy cannot hurt.
