First of all, I'll try to bring patches for the current head up to speed
tomorrow. As far as I understand one of the old issues came back, so it
shouldn't bee too hard to fix this.

It's the "chicken and egg" situation. You can't generate .def files using
this tool (or other tools) because in theory, you don't have any .dll's yet
(you do from previous builds but that's not the point).

This is why this "bootstrapping" - creating of import libraries from .def
files was invented in the first place, and this is how I solved initial
circular dependencies.
