The best answer to this question is to use the 'depends' tool on
Windows to see what DLL's it needs to load.  I believe the following
libraries are sufficient:

1. libxml2.dll
2. libxslt.dll
3. JavaScriptCore.dll
4. ICUUC40.dll
5. ICUIN40.dll
6. CFLite.dll
7. libcurl.dll
8. libeay32.dll
9. ssleay32.dll

However, if you enable QuickTime video support, this will pull in
CoreFoundation and the rest of the apple libraries, as they are needed
by QuickTime.

We've been refactoring the project files a fair amount recently, and
during this process I may have missed some places where Apple-specific
binaries are being linked.

I'll double-check my build environment and make sure the apple
runtimes are not being incorrectly used.

I suspect I may have allowed the 'Apple' build environment to bleed
into the WinCairo side of things.  I'll take a look at it today and
try to get it sorted out.

Thanks for the head's up!
