[xml] Building libxml2 with static iconv.lib on windows

[john blair <mailtome200420032002 yahoo com>]

I am trying to build libxml2-2.6.30 on windows. I configure it with 
cscript configure.js compiler=msvc vcmanifest=yes static=yes debug=no \
   include=<iconv include dir> \
   lib=<iconv lib dir> 

If lib is set to dir containing the DLL import library version of iconv then the build succeeds. But if its 
set to dir containing the static library version of iconv then the build fails with 

   Creating library bin.msvc\libxml2.lib and object bin.msvc\libxml2.exp
