generation)?

I would also prefer using .spec files as we already have them in all Wine
modules and they contain all the information we need.

But for generating .def files out of them, it's probably easier to write a
new .spec to .def file converter from scratch instead of trying to
change/fork winebuild.
Winebuild currently contains many options we don't need and probably will
never need (like generating assembly code for non-Win32 compilers) and it
also shares host and target headers. A new implementation should be much
more lightweight.
