Summary: Missing objectfiles in static lib

Initial Comment:
When building a static tclsh and .lib using makefile.vc, the dde and registry code is not added to the .lib. The attached patch adds those object files to the static .lib.

Aa a side question: what should be done with tclOOStubLib.obj, tclStubLib.obj and tclTomMathStubLib.obj when building a static .lib with makefile.vc? Should they be added to the .lib too?

Message:
When building with OPTS=staticpkg dde and registry are linked into the
tclsh, but should also be in the tcl86.lib to make it possible to embed Tcl
into an app with Tcl statically linked, including dde and registry.

Message:
dde and registry are [load]able packages.  Not clear to
me why their code ought to be in a static Tcl library.

The other things you mention have dev history as packages,
but they are now simply part of Tcl.  Need to be in the Tcl library.
