Upon further investigation, it seems that the charsets DLL depends on
libfribidi.dll, but "make" attempts to build the charset DLL first.
This is a problem on Windows, but apparently not on Linux.
So the necessary changes for Windows (not tested) are:

1) Add -no-undefined to libfribidi_char_sets_la_LDFLAGS;
2) Ensure that that libfribidi.dll is built before libfribidi_char_sets.dll
