--- Comment #4 from Erik van Pienbroek erik-fedora@vanpienbroek.nl 2009-09-10 17:16:53 EDT --- Actually the .def files don't serve any purpose after a package has been built. Other packages don't need it during compilation. See http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/MinGW/Packaging_issues#.2A.def_files for more details about this subject.
I would like to propose that we drop all the .def file from the mingw32 packages which still bundle them (like mingw32-pango..I'm not aware of any other mingw32 packages which bundles .def files)
