I just checked in a patch to find_fast_cwd_pointer which allows to
compute fast_cwd_ptr on W8 as well.  It was pretty simple.  The only
crucial difference in the code was the usage of "push crit-sect-addr"
instead of "mov edi, crit-sect-addr; push edi", which changes the
address of the next instruction by a single byte.
