(Disclaimer: ) I haven't studied spec files, so I don't know much
about option processing.
But if I were to add setting up exports even when doing an exe, would
that be done as
1. a command line option?
2. in the code, where the default for a dll is to export everything,
for an exe is to export nothing, and if there are explicit def files
(or dllexports) then just do whatever is specified?
