Automated Win32 builds

[Derek Atkins]

Hi Phil,

Over the weekend I worked on an automated system to build tags.
So when you tag a new release the system will build it overnight.
Note that the tag build rebuilds all the dependencies!  Also note that
if the tag build fails it currently will not upload the build log with
the failure, nor will it try again without manual intervention.

I didn't work on the "don't build the daily build if there have been no
updates" work.  I'll work on that soon when I get some more free time.

Note that all the code is in packaging/win32. :)

> "svn list" will also tell you when the "tags" directory has had something committed to it.  Then, "svn list http://svn.gnucash.org/repo/gnucash/tags" will give you a list of tags.  By comparing it with the previous list (which would need to be primed with the current list), you could kick off builds for new tags.
