I put it there in anticipation of adding symbols from libxml2 and iconv.
However, I have been working on a new build system for win32 that should
(hopefully) solve most problems provided that you have windows script host
installed.

It will also remove the dependency on Visual Studio (the IDE), so that
you only need the MS compiler tools (freely available with the win32
platform SDK).
