No, I've not pursued that path (too much other things to do).
And I'm not sure how to do the same with MSVC tools (as with
GNU tools; dlltool, nm, objdump etc.).  But I'll look into it although
it's a big task to decorate all exports properly with "__declspec(dllexport)". 
I don't think there's any way around that.
