[mythtv] Fwd: Win32 packager script repairs

[buzz]

 HI Nigel, thanks for the feedback...

Re zlib: Simon has previously reported  (in the wiki page) that he had
issues with zlib being located (in his case it was taglib, but it might be
related) unless he copied it into /mingw/lib (c:\mingw\lib) as well as
the msys lib (the current location).     Let me know if this fixes it for
you , and I'll add another step to the win32-packager tool.

Re: 'touch config/config.pro' - actually this was not ported from the
OSX-packager script.    It was independantly put there by me because without
the .pro file being there, the initial build (which creates the MakeFile in
the same folder ) fails, and aborts the build.   AFAIK, linux doesn't abort
under this situation, but Win32 does.    A number of us (Andre, and myself
at least) have already commented on this issue on the list, but it's a minor
inconvenience, and the packager now fixes it, so it's pretty much a
non-event now).

Regarding the /c/msys/1.0/lib folder being not appearing to be in the
library search path/s ....   /c/msys/1.0/lib is actually equivalent to /lib
under mingw because of the mounting structure, and that is a default search
location, so it actually should be found.

Buzz.
