As I'm applying the fixes for aix build, I'd like to cleanup WrapXS.pm not to create/install .exp and .def files on platforms where they aren't needed.

Also, Randy, do we need to install .def files so the XS extensions can be built on win32?
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).
So they are not needed when building extensions. Cool. Thanks Randy.
But the .exp equivalents are probably needed for aix. I'll test that soon.
