anyone have implicit linkage of gcc DLLs working in Visual C?

> lib /DEF:foo.def /OUT foo.lib

Hey, thanks! After a little reverse engineering to verify VC's lib.exe
produces .libs which reference a DLL of the same name as the .def (e.g.
foo.dll) I've got this working.
For reference, the syntax I'm using to build and link Atlas is
gcc -mno-cygwin -shared -o ${dllname} ${defname} \
 ${input_libraries} \
 -Wl,--out-implib=${gcclibname} \
 -Wl,--enable-auto-import \
 -Wl,--no-whole-archive ${clib}
LIBPATH=`cygpath -d "C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio\VC98\bin"`
VBPATH=`cygpath -d "C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual
Studio\Common\MSDev98\Bin"`
PATH="${PATH};${VBPATH};${LIBPATH}"
lib /DEF:${defname} /MACHINE:IX86 /OUT:${msvclibname}
and implicit linkage against the import library created by lib in Visual C++
is behaving correctly so far. However, I haven't yet tested this out
thoroughly.
