Yes, i know it's MSVC only, but a def file is static, and since some
symbols should be exported conditionally this won't work well. On the
other hand, it's not such a huge issue to edit a def file before
compiling. Maybe a def file + preprocessor would be idea, or some script.
I don't mind to use a def file, i guess both solutions aren't perfect.
Anyone else got an idea?
