Darmawan's code works as is, I tried it today on an i945 box running
Windows XP. But the code is based on a very old version of flashrom.

The two main issues are
- memory access
- IO access (including PCI access)

PCI access is nicely implemented by libpci/pci utils, which is available
for Windows since 2.1.99. libpci needs WinIo, which is an abstraction
layer for memory and IO accesses, similar to DirectIO on OSX:

It would likely make sense to base a new port on WinIo and libpci.
