Rather than use the /PM:PM parameter, I prefer to hared-code the API
type in the .DEF file.  Just put the word "WINDOWAPI" after the name
on the first line of the .DEF file.  Then you can leave out the /PM
parameter.  I prefer this, because the API type isn't going to change
at all, and this information is more closely related to module
definitions than to linking.
