New Win32 VM [m17n testers needed]

I just did a quick test out of curiosity. I did an "update code from
server" on a rather old image (Squeak3.9gamma [latest update: #7066])
and it seems there is an error while creating a cache directory/file.
The primitive "primOpen: fileName writable: writableFlag" fails on the
filename [1] and writableFlag true.
This works with a 3.7.1 VM.
