Hello.

I found it quite annoying that it stops with complaining as "unused
defines" during repeated execution of build.pl. The subroutine
GenerateConfigHeader prepares %defines_copy before checking the
newness of $config_header and even if it decides not to generate new
one, the following code makes sure if the %defines_copy is empty, then
of course it fails with the message.

The attached fixes that.

regards.

Subject: [PATCH] Fix behavior for repeated build on Windows.

Even after the function GenerateConfigHeader in Solution.pm decided
not to generate a new file, it wrongly checks for the remaining macro
defintions and stops with failure. Fix it by not doing the check if it
skipped file generation.
