Glad to hear that, we do need to support it to add meaningful
DLL build support to winegcc.

Indeed, maybe we can rename --spec to just --lib (or --implib), as we

So for this to work (say we have a MyStuff.DLL), I would add
a -lMyStuff, and I'd have to have a MyStuff.DEF (?.def?) and
MySfuff.DLL (?.dll?) into my -L dirs?
