sharp for windows 32

NOTE: This version of sharp only for Windows 32-bit system, for Windows 64-bit version or another OS - please see https://github.com/lovell/sharp

original sharp module author decided to stop supporting Windows 32bit version automatic installation but i think windows 32bit version could still be useful specially in case you are building desktop application using web technology such as Node Webkit or Electron

This version also using libvips version 8.4 that fixed the windows unicode file paths issue: https://github.com/jcupitt/libvips/issues/294

this is a fork from https://github.com/lovell/sharp so for documentation please visit the original module github page
