Hi,

Cygwin LD seems to ignore the file extension given in a imports def file. The
resulting executable attempts to load <name>.dll even if the extension of the
DLL file is not ".dll".

For example, windows includes a DLL file called "WINSPOOL.DRV". This is a normal
DLL file that ships with windows for use by applications.

Import def file:
LIBRARY WINSPOOL.DRV
IMPORTS
	ClosePrinter = WINSPOOL.ClosePrinter
	DocumentPropertiesA = WINSPOOL.DocumentPropertiesA
	OpenPrinterA = WINSPOOL.OpenPrinterA

This links ok but the resulting executable fails when it attempts to load
"WINSPOOL.DLL".

LD version "GNU ld (GNU Binutils) 2.18.50.20080523"
