Code it yourself, if you don't want to use winemaker to generate it for
you.  The format is described in <wine>/tools/winebuild/README, I think.

Winemaker knows more about coding Makefiles than I do, so _I_ find it
easier to use winemaker first, and hand-hack the .spec file, because I
know better than it what my app needs to import.  If you get
to understand wine's new import mechanism, maybe you can code the
Makefile yourself, but you will probably need to use winebuild to help
generate the link code/link the dll's.
