[Open Office] ooo-build on Windows

Hi all

After successfully getting OpenOffice.org building on Windows with the 
standard source, I'm trying with ooo-build so that it can handle my 
patches etc

I had a few ideas to make this easier, and thought I would bounce them 
past here for review (especially since I don't really know autoconf)

Firstly, it would be nice to autodetect building on Windows... patch 
attached to issue a warning if you're using cygwin and don't say 
--with-win32
Secondly, on Windows you don't want KDE and Gnome support... unless I'm 
mistaken. configure seems to assume you do unless you explicitly deny 
it. so attached a patch to change this so win32 implies --disable-kde 
and --disable-gtk

I was also wondering, it seems like the --with-ooo-builddir flag allows 
you to run on top of an existing tree. Will this cause problems if 
you've already been building on that tree or can you just migrate a 
standard build into ooo-build using this?
