           Summary: 3rdparty gabble plugins for windows can't be built

When building plugins for windows to produce .dll files we need to define all
the
symbols at link time. since all the current modules are compiled as -modules
this problem is not show up on Linux builds. to solve this

1.) we need to fool the linker by creating a .dll from libgabble-convenience
and specify this in LIBADD when building plugins 

2.) split libgabble-convenience into another library which can be used with
only plugins. in the current code, the plugins code is very tightly coupled
with almost all the files in libgabble-convenience
