Next release/allow PE executables to have an export table

[fabrizio.ge@tiscali.it]

Here is a test suite for the feature: if ld has the new feature, it creates
an executable file that exports a function, an export library for the .exe
file, and a DLL+export library that calls that function.

Regards
Fabrizio
