Oct 4 Windows build disappears without a message

[jraehl at raehls.org]

The 3 changesets today Oct 4 resulted in a working Gnucash for me, version 18370.

I deleted c:\soft\webkit-1.1.5, also pgsql, libdbi, libdbi-drivers, guile, and gmp.  I think that covered all the new stuff.  I had to delete corresponding folders in c:\soft\tmp for gmp, libdbi, libdbi-drivers, and guile, due to a complaint about two versions of gmp there and paranoia about the others.

I've reverted the changes which I consider relevant for the win32 build: I 
reverted the updated slib and the removal of the pgsql module (which might 
have caused more unexpected side-effects.).

This should get us back to the status where a missing MSVCR71.DLL will be 
complained about, but the rest should start up fine.

I'm curious how this build (r18369) will then work on your machine...

You haven't removed your previous guile directory, have you? In that case your 

locally installed version didn't actually use the slib version upgrade (from 
3a3 to 3b2), which might very well have causes this showstopper.
