windows-makefile.tmpl: don't use $? in library targets.
Problem with Microsoft lib.exe is that it doesn't *update* modules in .lib archive, but creates new one upon every invocation. As result if a source file was updated and nmake was executed, a useless archive with only one module was created. In other words one has to always pass all .obj modules on command line, not only recently recompiled. [This also creates dilemma for directory targets, e.g. crypto\aes, that were added to simplify every-day life for developer. Since whole idea behind those targets is to minimize the re-compile time upon single file modification, the only sensible thing to do is to omit intended library update.] Reviewed-by: Rich Salz <rsalz@openssl.org> Reviewed-by: Richard Levitte <levitte@openssl.org>
