Add a note about ^Z on Win32

+
+Differences in library behaviour
+
+
+Some of the standard Haskell libraries behave slightly differently on Windows.
+
+
+
+On Windows, the '^Z' character is interpreted as end-of-file, so
+if you read a file containing this character the file will appear to end just before it.
+To subvert this behaviour, you can put the file into Binary
+mode using GHC.Handle.hSetBinaryMode. (unfortunately this
+function isn't available form anywhere more stable, yet).
