Bug 653662 disabled incremental links for libxul on windows due to developers and build slaves hitting a hard-coded limit in Visual Studio for the size of the incremental link file.

If possible, we should re-enable incremental linking for libxul asap as this will hurt some developers.

Possible ways to get this re-enabled:

* Fix bug 590996 and then disable incremental linking via mozconfigs if necessary.
* Upgrade our builders to a newer Visual Studio version, this also requires jemalloc to be enabled. I'm not sure this will fix the developer issues that were seen there though.

If folks want to do improvements to the current disabling (e.g. 32/64 bit) I suggest they are done as separate bugs.
