How to make import libraries?

I see lots of discussion and FAQ text on how to *create* .DLLs, but
nothing on how to *use* them. The FAQ says I must link with an "import
library", but doesn't tell me how to create one from an existing .DLL.
I'd like to use GNU-Win32 to build Win32-native tools for working with
Netware, but that means I need to be able to call stuff in e.g.
NWCALLS.DLL for which there is no built-in include library in the
GNU-Win32 kit. I'd have thought that this is a f.a.q. but apparently not?
I rummaged around and found a program in the kit called dlltool, but could
find *no* documentation for it (and yes, I did download the manpage/info
kit too) so I can't even tell if it is what I'm looking for. Clues
welcomed. Thanks....

One more time: a (level-2) switch is a bridge. A "level-3 switch" is
a router. Deal with it.
