Can we remove the unnecessary DLL import libs from the link lines, please? 
I use some systems which do not have ODBC, for instance, so I have to
change the link line every time I update Apache on that system. We also do
not need to try and link against OLE. I.e. we can get rid of

  ole32.lib oleaut32.lib uuid.lib odbc32.lib odbccp32.lib

Of course since Apache doesn't use any of these calls this has no effect
on the end binary, and if it ever does call ODBC or OLE the libs can be
easily linked in. Any objections?
