def files are largely a dead technology and are not used very often. They
serve very
specialized purposes which are not actually necessary nearly all the time
these days.
I think that there is a case in which DEF files are important: when you want
to export C functions with __stdcall calling convention.
If you don't use DEF files, the __stdcall causes the function to be
decorated as _MyFunction@<bytes...>
