    win32: build: stop using .def files
    
    With visibility now under the control of __declspec(dllexport) we no
    longer need to build .def files or use them for building our various
    .dll files.
    
    .def files used to be installed (even though it is only really useful
    when creating the .dll or .lib file).  Don't do that anymore either.
    
    The Makefiles still contain rules to create a .lib file for use with
    Visual Studio and these rules require .def files.  There are special
    requirements to using these rules (like having installed and setup
    Microsoft tools for use during the build) and therefore the problem of
    creating a .def file for use with them is left open to anyone willing to
    make the effort.  Many options are available depending on which
    toolchain is in use (dlltool, pexport, gendef, dumpbin.exe, just to name
    a few).
    
    If we can find a free tool for creating .lib files in the future, we
    should probably revisit this issue and add proper support back to our
    build system.
