It's still needed. But why can't we remove the .def-file(s) all together? And
mark every exportable variable and function correctly. I suggest we add
something like this to curl.h:

#if defined(WIN32) || defined(NETWARE)
  #ifdef BUILDING_LIBCURL
    #define CURL_EXTERN __declspec(dllexport)
  #else
    #define CURL_EXTERN __declspec(dllimport)
  #endif
#else
  #define CURL_EXTERN extern /* or empty */
#endif

Thus there should be no need for .def-files.
