RE: [bug-libunistring] mixing MSVC and mingw-built libunistring

[David Byron]

Not using "normal" quoting since the line wrapping, etc. makes it hard to
read.

My recipe for creating an import library from libunistring-0.dll:

$ cd /usr/local/mingw/bin
$ echo EXPORTS >libunistring-0.def
$ dumpbin /EXPORTS libunistring-0.dll | tail -n+20 | awk '{ print $4 }'
>>libunistring-0.def
$ lib /def:libunistring-0.def

Notice the "tail -n+20" part of the dumpbin command line above.  There's no
doubt a more robust way to do this.  The idea is to grab everything after:

    ordinal hint RVA      name

and the blank link that follows it.  My sed skills aren't sharp enough to
pull this off without doing some reading so I just used tail.  If the output
of dumpbin changes slightly this recipe could break.

In case it's helpful, here are the tool versions I used:

dumpbin:
Microsoft (R) COFF/PE Dumper Version 8.00.50727.762

lib:
Microsoft (R) Library Manager Version 8.00.50727.762

Still curious about ideas for approaches to get libunistring working with
-MDd.
