Linking Gtk2.dll on msys/mingw

[Vincent LADEUIL <v ladeuil alplog fr>]

Episode 2 : 

The Gtk2.dll is  built using the patch below  and using the trick
mentionned before  (dmake >build.log + custom perl  script to work
around line too long).

Surely the patch could be written better, two candidates in Config_heavy.pl :

dlext='dll'
so='dll'

Can someone check their Config_heavy.pl and confirm that they use
'lib'  instead of 'dll'  in windows  configurations (as  an added
bonus, precisions on how perl was built are welcome).

Now, 'dmake text' whine about a missing 'dll.exp.dll'.

Does that ring a bell ?
