Summary: libport compilation fails because widl isn't there

Hi there,

this is an issue introduced through commit id
dc1a9f19c1f4c462f1e68e0def50e9c09812bc71.

See this (changes to libport):
http://source.winehq.org/git/wine.git/?a=commit;h=dc1a9f19c1f4c462f1e68e0def...

The usual ./configure && make clean && make depend && make now fails very early
when doing make inside libs/port.

Error states that widl isn't found. Manually building it also fails. I first
had to do a manual make in libs/wpp and then tried tools/widl, which fails with
this message:
gcc: ../../libs/port/libwine_port.a: No such file or directory

To me this looks like some circular dependency thing going on. libs/port needs
widl and widl in turn needs libs/port.

Thanks to arethusa / scguy318 for bisecting this.

Greets,
Tobias
