Ivan, obrigado but ... I wish it was that simple.
After a good number of rebuilds starting with a no-depencies and 
incrementally add the old ones I found the culprit. It was the "WEBP" 
driver, actually one of the few that I didn't build myself but used the 
"libwebp-0.1.3-windows-x86.zip" downloaded from the web site. I still 
don't understand how it worked before but removing it from the 
dependencies solved my problem. So here stays the warning for future 
victims.

Incidentally while scanning my building options I found a note that may 
be very well related to the problem recently reported by people who want 
to use the OpenJpeg driver. My note says that I had to use the 
preprocessor directive "USE_OPJ_DEPRECATED" for building the OpenJpeg 
library.

While at this, could I make a small request that VERSION variable in 
nmake.opt be wrapped in a IFNDEF so that we can optionally set it inside 
nmake.local? It would be something like

# Version number embedded in DLL name.
!IFNDEF VERSION_DLL
VERSION =    19
!ENDIF
