libtool uses '--export-all-symbols' in its link command, which 
apparently overrides your '-export-symbols sk.sym' option.  (BTW, 
-export-dynamic seems to have no effect in cygwin binutils.)

However, including a .def file in the list of objects to be linked will 
override '--export-all-symbols'.  I think.

It works on Linux, for me.

You need to figure out how to add the .def file to libsk_la_OBJECTS -- 
I'm not sure how to do that. As far as doing it conditionally (e.g. only 
on windows) -- first things first: figure out how to add it AT 
ALL...then worry about conditionalizing it.
