We need to build "nss", and nss requires the mozilla build tooling under
windows, regardless of whether mozilla itself is built it not. nss is
used by a few things directly by LibreOffice, not just as a build-req
for the mozilla stuff.

Easiest to install the mozilla tools installer from 
http://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla.org/mozilla/libraries/win32 and run
it, it will install into something like c:\mozilla-tools

and configure with --with-mozilla-build=/c/mozilla-tools (or whereever
it does)
