The actual implementation is a bit different between Windows and Wine: under Windows the import library has to be in the standard library file format that the linker understands (xxx.lib, or libxxx.a for gcc), and it is generated from the dll .def file. Under Wine we don't need a real library since everything is done inside winebuild without involving the Unix linker, so we use the .def file directly and skip the intermediate step of building a library object file.
So are we going to move away from using the *.spec files at some point and just use def's by themselves? I dont think this would work because of the stubs functions and I'm sure there is more about the .spec system I dont understand.
Thanks Steven
