commit -- Allow predefinition of Makefile vars


Subject: commit -- Allow predefinition of Makefile vars

I made it possible and provided a way to pre-define certain vars in the
abi_defs.mk makefile. This makes the build faster (by a surprising amount)
on Win32. It also provides a way of specifying definitions for vars without
having to hack up your local makefiles every time you checkout a new copy of
the source - my compiler doesn't like all the optimizer flags defined by the
makefiles, for example.

Credit for this idea goes to Glen Ruedinger

Better late than never, I suppose. :)
