I have tested win32/mingw build, and we have a problem :|

The input line is too long.
Build failed
 -> task failed (err #129): [bld://P:\ns-3\ns-3-dev\libns3.dll]

Basically what used to build fine before, now isn't.  I suspect it is
because the NS-3 code base has grown, and grown, and now we are exceeding a
limit on the number of command line arguments that win32 can accept, due to
the large number of object files when linking the ns3 library.

Not sure if win32/cygwin has the same problem, as I don't have cygwin
installed, but I suspect it does.

Googling the problem gave me this link:
http://lkamal.blogspot.com/2006/12/input-line-is-too-long-windows-command.html

Which says "The number of characters that can be entered into a single
command is limited to 8191. (this is including spaces)."

One obvious solution would be to go back to one-dll-per-module solution that
we had temporarily in the past, but that solution is intrusive and may not
be wise so close to a stable release.  I'll try to see if there is some
other solution available to us... but, no promises.. :-/
