This was an orignal attempt to get plugins to work with the mingw. The
plugins would link agaist the libAbiWord.dll as would the AbiWord.exe.
MSVC allows us to link plugin dlls against the .exe exported functions.
If mingw build can be made to do this, then the need for a libAbiWord.dll
goes away (I almost had this done at one time).

Normal window is default behavior for Win apps.
