Hi there,

Firstly apologies if this isn't in the correct Git format as I'm new to Git and as far as I can tell this is the correct way - Please let me know if I need to change anything.

I forked your library for the ST7565 and made some changes that enable it to be used on the Intel Galileo board running Windows (from http://www.windowsondevices.com) with Visual Studio 2013. I also updated it to use the SPI class from the Arduino Wiring API - Using the HW SPI on the Galileo makes it much faster than using the SW shift out version (you can see the difference here http://youtu.be/M-pLOjz_mkc).

Additionally I've added an example Visual Studio 2013 solution that shows this library running here ST7565/examples/Galileo-st7565lcd/Galileo-st7565lcd.sln.

Please let me know if you need anything more to accept this.
