Remove a long lived win32 hack
It seems that the dummy libraries are not needed anymore on windows nowadays.

-This directory contains .def files for some of the DLLs in
-Evolution. They are used to build bootstrap import libraries for these
-DLLs in advance before they have actually been built. This is
-necessary because Evolution's shared libraries have circular
-dependencies, and one can't have unresolved symbols when building
-shared libraries on Win32.

-These .def files aren't used when building the actual DLLs in
-question. They are only used to produce bootstrap import libraries for
-them. Thus a .def file for libFOO here doesn't list all the actual
-entry points in libFOO, only those that are used by other DLLs that
-are built before libFOO. When the actual libFOO is built, we rely on
-the GNU linker's auto-export to export all public symbols.
