Hmm, you mean we could remove the spec file entries that apps never
actually link against?

Perhaps the first step then would be to implement support in winebuild
and the loader such that the list of stubbed functions is exported then
the loader can link imports from those to stubs generated on the fly. At
that point the winebuild support for stubs could be removed, and all the
@ stub entries also deleted in one go.
