Cygwin's libtool, passing .def file name to gcc during linking

[Maarten Boekhold]

Ha, who'd have thought...

I found it. I can use '--export-symbols plugin.def' for this. Even 
though the plugin.def doesn't contain exports, but imports... (this is a 
plugin library that invokes functions contained in the executable that 
loads the library...)
