! README for reimp
! ================
! 
! * Overview 
! 
! `reimp' is a tool to convert Microsoft's new-style (short) import
! libraries to import libraries for win32 ports of GNU tools (mingw32,
! cygwin).
! 
! `reimp' reads an MS import library and writes all imports to the
! corresponding .DEF file(s) that it feeds to `dlltool' that creates the
! import library.
! 
! 
! * Invocation
! 
! Usage: reimp [options] IMPLIB
! 
! Options:
!   -s, --dump-symbols      dump symbols to stdout
!   -d, --only-def          only create .def files
!   -c, --keep-case         keep case in lib*.a file names
!   --dlltool <name>        use <name> for dlltool
!   --as <name>             use <name> for assembler
! 
! The `--dump-symbols' option makes `reimp' use a quick method for
! finding imported symbols and sending the names of found symbols to
! stdout. If the input library contain non-imported symbols they will be
! listed as well. The output symbols will have all decoration preserved
! (i.e '_' will prefix most symbols), so if you feed it to dlltool you
! should strip leading underscores. For example
! 
!         echo EXPORTS > imp.def
!         reimp imp.lib | sed 's/_//' >> imp.def
!         dlltool -k --def imp.def --output-lib libimp.a --dllname imp.dll
! 
! The `--only-def' option makes `reimp' stop after generating the .DEF
! file(s).
! 
! By default `reimp' converts all output library names to lower-case. By
! using the `keep-case' option `reimp' will use exactly the case of the
! DLL imported from when creating an import library. KERNEL32.dll will
! generate libKERNEL32.a and not libkernel32.a as it would be default.
! 
! 
! * Notes on mixed libraries
! 
! If an input library contain regular objects (non-imports, i.e code and
! data) `reimp' will write out those objects unless you specify one of
! the `--only-def' and `--dump-symbols' options. You probably want to
! include those objects as well in the generated library. `reimp'
! doesn't do that automatically so you have to do it manually using
! `ar', like this
! 
!         reimp imp.lib          # this generates several .o or .obj files.
!         ar rcs libimp.a *.obj  # add them to library
