Well, the idea would be not to depend on compiler support for the
__declspec keyword itself, but more to have some clever macro
replacements that output stuff in a special ELF section or something
like that. This could then hopefully be made to work on most
compilers. But I'm not sure if there's a good way to do that at all.

I think most of all it needs to be simple. My idea is to run through
the preprocessor, find the __declspec, and locate the corresponding
function name, or die if there's anything it cannot parse. This should
be reasonably foolproof. And IMO it shouldn't be in Perl, it should be
part of winebuild.
