Thanks for the info.  From what I can gather, the solution is to play
around with dllwrap: get it to export a symbol definition file for the Gtk
submodule (I think it already does this by default), and then, when it is
creating a dll for one of the other submodules, get it to import symbol
definitions from the main Gtk .def file.  At least I think that's the
solution.  I will play around with this some more over the next few days
and let you know if and when I get something working.
