+++ This bug was initially created as a clone of Bug #44331 +++

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
