[PATCH] mfc42: add static library

[Jefferson Carpenter]

Sans this patch, (without using winetricks -q mfc42) Rise of Legends exits with

"Error loading PID Generator DLL.  The DLL could not be found!  Please
make sure the file is available in the installation directory and try
again,"

with console output

As surprising as it is, merely having a DLL by the name of mfc42
present, Rise of Legends is able to generate a PID after entering the
CD key.
