commit: make build work

Start cleanup of diving make Makefiles, start using prebuilt
DLLs instead of peer source, initial work towards supporting
more compilers on Windows. More is to follow, including fix
where this breaks MinGW, switch more peers to being DLL based
[see below for why], and more cleanup if possible.

I'm switching the Windows (and perhaps MinGW) builds [Windows
builds support multiple compilers, but because it's so different,
gcc (aka MinGW) is considered a separate platform] to use DLLs
where we previously built libraries from peer source trees.
This will make the Windows build similar to the Unix builds,
in that we will now use shared libraries, but as most are not
available as system libraries, the builder must provide them
locally in a peer libs directory, which will then be installed
locally in AbiWord/bin/ on the end user computer. This is a step
towards better support for the plugins, by reducing duplicate
code -- libpng, zlib, and iconv in particular. In the end this
will simplify building (and reduce build time) as a person wishing
to build AbiWord need only install prebuilt [from the upstream
maintainer where applicable] libraries/programs for most peers and
then checkout abi, abidistfiles, abiword-plugins, wv, and optionally
abiword-docs.
