My draft on the update of README.mingw for review. Other than
the libusb/libusbx merge, I have also tried to update some grammar
issues as well.

* How to run libftdi 1.x under Windows *
On 26-Jan-2014, libusbx and libusb project were merged with the release
of libusb-1.0.18 and now the project is called libusb.
libusb Windows backend will need to rely on a proper driver to run.
Please refer to the following wiki page for proper driver installation.
https://github.com/libusb/libusb/wiki/Windows#wiki-How_to_use_libusb_on_Windows
As of 26-Jan-2014, libusb Windows backend supports WinUSB,
libusb0.sys and libusbk.sys driver. However, libusb's support of
libusb0.sys and libusbk.sys is considered to be less mature than
WinUSB. Therefore, WinUSB driver installation using Zadig
is recommended.
Take note once you replace the original FTDI driver with WinUSB driver,
you can no longer use the functionality the original FTDI driver provides
(eg. Virtual Serial Port or D2XX).
