Hi,

To port Evince to Windows, I needed a poppler dll. Cross compiling poppler with
the mingw32 compiler on Ubuntu did built static libraries, but failed to build
DLLs.

It appeared that libtool needs to be told to build dll's when initialized. The
first patch will do this, thus making it possible to cross compile poppler
DLLs.

When linking to these DLLs, the linker automatically imports what needs to be
imported for windows, but gives warnings about this if you do not give the
--enable-auto-import option to the linker. The second patch will provide this
option to the linker.
