Using grev on the Windows NT-based GEOS SDK.



grev for the Windows NT-based SDK was not working correctly before
August 1, 1997. The problem was that the .mk files are passing a
-b (branch) option to grev. Then grev looks in the .rev file for a
revision for that branch. There isn't a "newbranch" for the ntsdk
so the user can't specify a branch revision.

The easiest fix is to change the global .mk so it doesn't pass .
The only problem with this is a developer can't use the same .rev for
multiple branches. To make this fix, edit the Include/win32/geos.mk file
and delete lines 344-346.

A fix was made to correct this problem for future NT-based SDKs.
