[GNC] Sluggish after 5.13

[Sherlock]

I maybe wrong about the c:\libdbi\lib\dbd folder as there are compile 
time definition that will override the location which appears to be 
something like /mingw32/lib/dbd but that should still typically miss in 
a typical user's gnucash installation.

Setting GNC_DBD_DIR to something like C:\Program Files 
(x86)\gnucash\lib\dbd should work around the issue.
