Apparently the CMAKE builds have trouble with this.  I made changes to
qscintilla, qt, and gl2ps so that these packages no longer spread their dll
files around bin and lib directories.

The change in gl2ps will obviously break MSVC compilation, as it's redundant with the msvc-specific patch (hence it'll fail to apply it). I'll fix that shortly.

Thanks.  I saw the msvc-specific patch was doing something similar, but I'm not familiar enough with MXE to know whether it would pick just the more specific patch (COMPILER-OS) or try and apply both.

First, <module>-x*.patch are applied. Then <system>-<module>-x*.patch are applied.

Michael.
