[PATCH] Windows Build Process Tweaks

[Daniel Harding]

In my spare time I do some minor hacking on GnuCash (trying to scratch a 
few itches here and there).  For various reasons, I am limited to using 
Windows for my development.  As a result, I have made a few tweaks to 
the Windows build process - several of them having to do with making it 
easier to build without being connected to the internet.  I've attached 
patches for each of my changes, which I will describe below:

xsltprocflags.patch:  this adds a variable called XSLTPROCFLAGS which is 
passed to the xsltproc command from make_chm.  I use this variable to 
pass the --nonet flag so that I can still build when not connected to 
the internet.

combine_definitions.patch:  this is just a clean-up patch; in 
defaults.sh there were two identical definitions of the BUILD_DIR and 
INSTALL_DIR variables, one for the building from a tarball case and one 
for the building from a checkout case.  I removed these two separate 
definitions made one single definition for each.

update_docs.patch:  to prevent the build from attempting to update the 
doc sources from subversion with every build, I added a variable called 
UPDATE_DOCS which has essentially the same function as UPDATE_SOURCES.  
Now the inst_docs functions only updates the doc sources if UPDATE_DOCS 
is "yes".  Also moved the definition of the SVN_REV variable from the 
svn_up function to defaults.sh, and added a corresponding DOCS_REV variable.

msys_svk_svnversion.patch:  because SVK on Windows is invoked via a 
batch file, the gnc-svnversion script was not properly detecting that 
SVK was in use.  This patch adds a check to the script to see if it is 
running under MSYS, and if so, modifies the way it checks for and 
invokes SVK.  It also slightly modifies a sed command to work around the 
limitations of the version sed that ships with MSYS.

aqbanking_path.patch:  this patch actually fixes a minor bug - when the 
make_install.sh script is invoked, it calls the make_install function in 
install.sh.  This function references the AQBANKING_PATH variable when 
generating gnucash.bat.  However, when make_install.sh was invoked, this 
variable had never been set, resulting in those paths being missing from 
gnucash.bat, leading to missing DLL messages when gnucash.bat was run.  
To fix, I moved the definition of AQBANKING_PATH from the inst_gnucash 
function to the make_install function.

make_install_build_dir.patch:  this is a convenience change - it simply 
makes sure that the make_install function invokes the make install 
command from BUILD_DIR, so that the make_install.sh script can be 
invoked from anywhere, not just BUILD_DIR.

Feel free to commit any of these that would be generally useful. 

Cheers,
