I just cross-compiled for i586-mingw32msvc, and it produced a DLL
and supporting files, so I'm kind of confused.  There's a possibility
that your libtool is a bit old and doesn't support building DLLs on
the mingw32msvc target, or that the compiler doesn't want to build
them for some reason.

Could you try compiling this snapshot:

  http://home.schleef.org/~ds/liboil-0.3.3.1.tar.gz

It contains the same libtool that works here, so if that doesn't
work, there's something wrong with your setup.
