Summary: DLL  name 'expat.dll' causes problems

Initial Comment:
On Win32, when attempting to build the XML::Parser 
Perl module with expat, the name 'expat.dll' is used 
by both projects. This causes problems when running 
XML::Parser, because only one of the 2 dlls can be 
loaded.

By changing the output target of expat 
to 'libexpat.dll' (and generating and linking against 
the corresponding libexpat.lib) I was able to get 
XML::Parser successfully built and running on Win NT.

This relates to having multiple versions of the library being made available in the same process.  Assigned to Clark since he might have more of the context information related to XML::Parser.
