Statically linked windows binaries (was: ARtoolkit)

Hi Kirk,

We have avoided releasing a compiled windows binary, since the toolkit 
does not yet support runtime configuration of some parameters (e.g. 
camera settings.) However, we would encourage you to do a binary 
compilation for your students, especially if they are all using the 
same type of camera.

As for statically linked binaries.. difficult to do because of the 
dependencies on DSVideoLib, which is built as a DLL. Its too much to 
expect users to rebuild DSVideoLib, hence we have also avoided going 
for a completely statically linked toolkit on Windows. All the other 
libraries are statically linked however, and on Mac OS X and Linux, all 
libs are statically linked.

Regards,
Phil.
