My fault. My patch fixes two things at the same time.

1/ The names of .def files was not correct, because an old soversion what 
hardcoded in the configure.in file. That is a bug. I doubt anybody can report 
that the mingw compilation works with --shared since the soversion of GMP has 
changed.

2/ I have added a resource file so that the VERSIONINFO fields of the DLLs are 
filled. That is not mandatory.


I will come back latter to you with a set of atomic self-consistent patches, 
and change logs. Probably only after the weekend.
