Earnie,

A good suggestion, but unfortunately that's going to be messy since all 
the exports are sorted, and I don't really want to add special logic just 
for this. Easiest way to split is to just re-create without the new
--add-stdcall-alias option (or use sed/perl/awk/what-not).

How about I add a special comment to each auto-added alias, such as
``added by --add-stdcall-alias'' that you can use to delete those lines?

There's always an easy way out -- use sed or perl. For example, to turn 
foo.def:

  EXPORTS
  	foo@1 @ 1;		add alias to this
	blah @ 2;		don't mess with this one

into foo2.def:

  EXPORTS
  	foo = foo@1 @ 1;	add alias to this
	blah @ 2;		don't mess with this one

I would use the following:
  
  $ < foo.def > foo2.def \
  sed -e 's,\([A-Za-z$:\-\_?][A-Za-z0-9/$:\-\_?]*\)\(@[0-9]*\),\1 = \1\2,'

But, since regexp seem to give people a stomach ache, I've added the
--add-stdcall-alias (and hopefully soon I'll upload a new version of
dllhelpers package that includes this dlltool and an enhanced dllwrap 
that adds a few useful features).

Note that the regexp above is almost the same as the one used in binutils
to recognize IDs, except for the missing '@' in \1.

Regards,
Mumit
