--enable-win-mozab-driver : as for all options you could set it, but it is  
ignored on _os != WINNT
=> so you get either none or internal

What about MinGW when building this ab driver ? Should I use WNT zips ? If  
yes, how do we mark as deprecated the other ones ?

Based on the fact we do not build moz now, can someone confirm we could  
remove moz/makefile.mk with ooo_mozab and keep moz/zipped/makefile.mk with  
moz_unzip ?

 From the Stephan's mail, I conclude --with-system-* are restricted to _os  
!= WINNT or _host_os != cygwin.
That I was not aware.

I already started.

Cleaning makefiles, still....
