The .def files are needed on Win32 (and on a couple of other
platforms, I believe) as a way to define, when building, what
symbols to put in the library that's being created. So I don't
think they need be installed (at least on Win32), except possibly
for convenience in seeing what was used to build the library
(but for that there's other tools).
