Make vs_module_defs: do something for gcc on Windows as well

Module definition files may be useful when building with gcc on Windows also
(e.g. if the existing build uses them, if exports are aliased, if we were
retro enough to export by ordinal, etc.)

Add the .def file to the link command line when using gcc on Windows

Run the appropriate windows tests irrespective of compiler.
