Take a look at DLL def files. I believe from memory that they 
will help with that.

For Microsofts linker (64bit) take a look at 
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/vstudio/fcc1zstk.aspx and 
/SUBSYSTEM:Windows.
For an example .def file (thats has been made for a dll but 
should work ok) look at http://dlang.org/dll.html at mydll.def.

The later should work for both 64bit and 32bit I believe.
