[phobos] Could anyone rewrite win32.mak? (automated test failures)

[Rainer Schuetze]

I didn't try to compile each module separately, but here's the patch to 
the makefile splitting the compilation into two parts to bring the 
unittests back to live. (Though I was hoping that the occurrence of this 
nasty bug with the phobos unittests would have encouraged Walter to fix 
it in the linker... ;-) )
