Update website so that newbies are told they must set the
WebKitOutputDir to get a valid build.

• building/build.html: Add language (and link) indicating the importance of setting the WebKitOutputDir variable, as well as a link to instructions on how to do so.

+<p>Another common error is forgetting to set the <tt>WEBKITOUTPUTDIR</tt> environment variable.  If you omit this step, you will get build errors when the WebKit build process begins generating code.  If you are not sure how to do this, Microsoft provides a good set of <a href="http://support.microsoft.com/kb/310519">instructions</a>.</p>
