editBuild SWI-Prolog from source

The sources are common for all platforms, but the way to build them is totally different for MS-Windows and all Unix/POSIX based platforms. Unless you plan to use SWI-Prolog for seriously for a longer period of time, we strongly discourage building the Windows version yourself. On the other hand, we generally encourage building yourself on non-windows platforms because binaries tend to be less portable and building is much easier.
