Compile errors building Python Mapscript using win32 buildkit

[Howard Butler]

Jeff,

Our latest change to the buildkit (the -2 version) statically links 
in GD and we removed the exporting of those symbols into mapserver_i 
by nuking the mapserver.def.  You have to link libgd into Python 
MapScript now because it uses some of GD's functions for freeing 
images and working with symbols.

It should be as simple as changing the windows libs line from 
['mapserver_i'] to ['mapserver_i','gd'].  I must have made this 
change but not committed it to cvs :(
