Windows GDI SVG builds have been missing gdiplus.dll found in earlier builds.
This problem was first noticed around 10-12th January. Without the file Mozilla
will hang at the splash screen. Copying the file from an older installation into
the bin directory allows mozilla to load as normal.

gdiplus.dll seems to be missing from builds again. I had to install it manually
for 2003032809/win98 and it was missing for previous builds as well. Having read
the build instructions for the SVG build, I'll resummarise this bug as an
encahncement, and file another bug about the fact that Mozilla just hangs at the
splash screen if gdiplus.dll is missing (I tried several builds and assumed they
were broken before I remembered this issue existed at all).
