Nikolaj -

This occured on as we use -lAbi_fribidi as defined by
src/config/abi_defs.mk. This passes an arguement to the linker, which for
Win32 it fails and gives us a warning.

We directly linked to the correct library in creating the exe, so this
shouldn't be a problem. But a quick change to abi_defs.mk should fix this.

Cheers!
