After building this morning on win32 after an SVN update I noted the
following:

1.  Config.nmake has not been updated for zlib123.
2.  When building plugins, the makefile generally has a target of
"plugin.dll plugin.exp plugin .lib" to produce the dll.  This causes the
linker to be run 3 times, once for each target.  According to the MS docs
(http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/library/en-us/vccore98/H
TML/_core_link_output.asp) the link will produce the .lib file.  Empirical
testing shows that it also produces the .exp file.  I can see no reason why
the extra targets are required.  It's not as if it's likely that anyone is
going to delete the files separately from the dll.
