Normally qemu commonts dont' start with one space.

Can we move this bit of code os-lib-win32.c?
(yes, the mess already existed before this patch)

can we use localtime_r() also for windows?  We have one implementation
on os-lib-win32.c?  It says that it miss locking, should we look at
improving it instead?

This is spelled:
