Distributing Windows Static Libraries in DWT

[Mike via Digitalmars-d-dwt]

Walter has informed me that Digital Mars has a separate agreement
with Microsoft permitting the redistribution of the static libs
here
(https://github.com/d-widget-toolkit/org.eclipse.swt.win32.win32.x86/tree/master/lib)
with DMD. That agreement does not transfer to DWT.

It appears the static libs are only used when building the
snippets, however.

I think it would be best to remove those .lib files from the
Github repository, modify the build script, and update the
instructions.

I'll try to get it done in the next couple of weeks, but anyone
else is also welcome to help.

Ok, thanks for the heads up. A pull request would be awesome.
