Small updates to better match the format of current Makefiles.

Remove the documentation of no longer supported spec file options.
Add notes to point out the sections that are particularly out of
date.

Note that you would normally not specify Winelib libraries there. To
link with a Winelib library, one uses the 'import' statement of the

have not explicitly exported the functions of a Winelib library. One
library you are likely to find here is <literal>mfc</literal> (note,

The reason why winemaker also links with libraries in the Unix sense
in the case above is because functions will not be properly exported.
Once you have exported all the functions in the library's spec file
you should remove them from the <varname>LIBRARIES</varname> field.
