That dlltool is messing things up is very likely possible. It is  
called after the import library was created automatically, so it  
overwrites it. And if you look in bindings/f95/plplotf95_mingw.def  
you'll see what symbols are exported, since this definition file is  
used for dlltool. But I reverted the changes regarding the dlltool, so  
it would be best to update before you proceed any further.
