Chun-wei Fan f6ffba634b MSVC builds: Add support to build DirectWrite shaping backend
Add into the NMake Makefiles to build the DirectWrite shaping backend,
but as PR #134 mentions, this is considered to be in an experimental state,
so don't include this in the build by default for now.  This is most probably
going to replace the Uniscribe backend eventually, since DirectWrite is meant
to be Uniscribe's replacement, and is needed for Windows Store apps if a
system shaping API is to be used.

Chun-wei Fan d7b6636e5e build: Support Visual Studio builds using NMake
This adds a set of NMake Makefiles that can be used to build HarfBuzz, from
the standard basic build building the minimal HarfBuzz DLL (consisting
of OpenType, fallback and Uniscribe support only), to a full fledged build
consisting of GLib and FreeType support, as well as building the utilities,
the test programs in src/ and test/api, and HarfBuzz-ICU and
HarfBuzz-GObject, and up to building the introspection files.  This means a
flexible build mechanism is supported here, so anything that is supported
for a Windows build (code-wise), should all be supported by this build
system.

As in an earlier commit, the source listings are shared with the autotools
builds with the various Makefile.sources in src/, src/hb-ucdn and util/, and
this set of NMake Makefiles will transform these lists into the form they
want.

In the current form, all the test programs in test/api pass, and this has
been checked successfully with 'make -j8 distcheck'.
