Added a release notes file for binaries.

Also create wxWidgets-x.y.z_Headers.7z file when making the release, it is
used with the binaries.

+wxWidgets 2.9.4 Binaries
+========================
+
+This directory contains binary files for wxWidgets 2.9.4 release.
+
+Currently the binaries are available for Microsoft Visual C++ compiler
+versions 8.0, 9.0 and 10.0 corresponding to marketing product names of
+Microsoft Visual Studio 2005, 2008 and 2010 respectively.
+
+For Developers
+--------------
+
+For developing applications with wxWidgets you need to download the
+compiler-independent wxMSW-2.9.4_Headers.7z file and one of
+wxMSW-2.9.4-vcXXX_Dev.7z files depending on your compiler version.
+Unpack both files into the same directory so that "include" and "lib"
+directories are at the same level after unpacking. You should be able
+to compile and link applications using wxWidgets in both debug and
+release modes but the debug symbols are provided only for debug
+libraries in this archive, see below for the release build debug
+symbols.
+
+
+For End Users
+-------------
+
+End users may download wxMSW-2.9.4_vcXXX_ReleaseDLL.7z files to get
+just the DLLs required for running the applications using wxWidgets.
+
+
+For Debugging
+-------------
+
+The files wxMSW-2.9.4_vcXXX_ReleasePDB.7z contain the debug symbols
+for the release build of the DLLs. Download them if you want to debug
+your own applications in release build or if you want to get
+meaningful information from mini-dumps retrieved from your users
+machines.
+
+
+Feedback
+--------
+
+This is our first attempt to provide binaries for wxWidgets libraries
+and we are very interested in your feedback. Please let us know if
+these files are useful to you and how could they be made more so and,
+of course, if you run into any problems with them. Looking forward to
+hearing from you on [wx-users mailing list](http://groups.google.com/group/wx-users).

+Next, update (at least the versions and SHA1 sums, but maybe more) and upload
+docs/release_files.mdwn and docs/release_binaries.mdwn files. They need to be
+renamed to README.md on SF to be shown when the directory is viewed, i.e. do:
+
+    scp docs/release_files.mdwn \
+        sfuser,wxwindows@frs.sf.net:/home/frs/project/w/wx/wxwindows/x.y.z/README.md
