Fix warning during generation of DocTypeStrings.cpp

During the hackfest we explored a bunch of strategies to make the build take
less time, specially when doing incremental builds after touching a small
number of files. We should push some proper changes implementing some of the
ideas without breaking the build system =). My proposal is to make two changes:

1. adopt Evan Martin's awesome idea of linking all files only once, at the end,
for release builds
2. make debug builds be many small shared libraries, to guarantee small build
times when touching some files only

I am posting patches that implement both. The first patch is actually a build
fix for a gperf call that doesn't add the appropriate include. I am not marking
the patches for review as of yet - I would like people to test them/agree to
the changes before posting proper patches.
