I've reverted the commit in r20197.

I can't just copy the gssapi dll alone. That dll requires the other dlls
to be installed, otherwise the TSVN exe files won't even start (missing
dependency).

That means as it works now, we can't include gssapi with TSVN or we
would have to include the whole kerberos installer in TSVN too -
something I definitely won't do.

There's another problem with the build as you can see in the build log
from the nightly build:
http://nightlybuilds.tortoisesvn.net/latest/x64/full/buildlog64.txt

When the x64 version is built on a 32-bit OS, the build fails because
the build script tries to run the wconfig.exe which is built for x64.
