CMake recognizes the ".def" extension automatically. Don't mark it with

I just removed that property from the gcc build. Now with both MSVC and gcc 
builds I get

ninja: ERROR: 'foo.def', needed by 'bar.dll', missing and no known rule to make 
it.

If I revert the commit I mentioned before, it works and the def file is handled 
correctly.

CMake has the ModuleDefinition test covering .def handling:

  
http://cmake.org/gitweb?p=cmake.git;a=blob;f=Tests/ModuleDefinition/CMakeLists.txt;hb=a2514f15

and it passes on our nightly testing both before and after the change
in question.  Your use case must be different from what that test covers.
Can you provide a minimal source tarball to reproduce the problem?

Thanks,
