skate: statically recompiling the Xbox 360 game for Windows

This recompiles skate (2007) for the Xbox 360 into a Windows program with a ReXGlue fork. The README says the game boots and that the intro videos, menus, audio, career start, and Freeskate work. A portable.txt file beside the executable keeps saves in a userdata folder.
