No, win32def does precisely take care of generating a def file with all 
symbols exported to the DLL. No need for dllexport/dllimport stuff.

Actually, the mico project recently switched from win32def to a new tool 
called gendef. For an example, either try to compile mico (nmake -f 
Makefile.win32) or grab this simple example I created yesterday.

In the MSVC solution file, you'll find three projects. gendef creates 
the gendef executable, build_dll builds a simple dll, exporting the 
symbols with gendef (see the prelink rule in the project properties), 
and test_dll uses this dll in a simple example.
