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.
