I tried that before posting my message.  It didn't work.  It seems to
ignore --add-stdcall-alias.

Definitely not easy.  I'm porting an existing COM API to Java, with
about 100 classes and several thousand functions.  I was hoping to avoid
creating the .def file.  I'll probably continue using dlltool until I
have it all done, and then write a little program to create a proper
.def file.
