that is an error, not a warning?  damn, who wrote that stupid header...

well the .def file is only for Windows, we don't have anything in gbuild
to convert between a bunch of different map file formats like the old
build system could because we're trying for "less insane"...

so something like #ifdef UNX SAL_DLLPUBLIC_EXPORT would be needed...

on the other hand the npapi.h header is checked into git, does not come
from a tarball, and has already been modified; i wonder if editing that
to add dll-exports is the easiest way to fix this?
