A script for .lib-generation

Since we can't rely on libtool for that, we have to use lib.exe. Also, one of
the libtool devs suggested that it would be best to supply .def files instead
of actual .lib files, because with lib.exe it is always possible to create
import libraries.

So i made a script that does just that:
* generates .lib files from .def files, and/or installs .def files (and .lib
files if generated) in MSys.
* generates .lib files from .def files in CMD.

It could be possible to do the same thing via makefiles and such, but:
1) I have no idea how to do that
2) Makefiles can't be conveniently distributed along with .def files
