Not only that, there are also things like register functions etc. But
we should definitely be able to build standard Winelib dlls with a
.def file, this shouldn't be too hard to add. It will probably require
some tweaking of the winebuild command line options though, --spec and
--def are going to be confusing if we also accept .def files as input.

Yes that should work.
