digitalmars.D.dwt - Distributing Windows Static Libraries in DWT

Walter has informed me that Digital Mars has a separate agreement 
with Microsoft permitting the redistribution of the static libs 
here 
(https://github.com/d-widget-toolkit/org.eclipse.swt.win32.win32.
86/tree/master/lib) 
with DMD.  That agreement does not transfer to DWT.

It appears the static libs are only used when building the 
snippets, however.

I think it would be best to remove those .lib files from the 
Github repository, modify the build script, and update the 
instructions.

I'll try to get it done in the next couple of weeks, but anyone 
else is also welcome to help.

Ok, thanks for the heads up. A pull request would be awesome. -- /Jacob Carlborg
