Updated visual studio 2005 project files

[Christophe Gisquet]

Hi,

these allow to build fribidi 0.19.1 with VS2005 (and I expect further
versions) at least in their Express (free as in beer) version as a
shared lib (ie .dll + .lib, equivalent to a .so and a .a) for windows.
The archive should extract to a visual/ folder.

On the topic of shared lib, fribidi-common.h tries to handle dynamic
libraries in the windows environment. Unfortunately, this is
insufficient:
- it forces dynamic lib and not static lib
- it is normally only valid for building the code, not linking

A proper solution (like curl, the closest example I had at hand) would
be the attached patch. I haven't tried to modify the autotools files
to account for this possibility and the new macro defs
FRIBIDI_STATICLIB and BUILDING_FRIBIDI.

Bye,
Christophe
