Scratch that.  This breaks when when the return type involves a '*' ptr,
i.e.

xmlNodePtr LIBXMPAPI function(); /* works just fine */
xmlChar* LIBXMLAPI function(); /* fails to compile, error C2059 */

Unless there is a workaround, this seems to break the 1 macro with no
.def.src approach.

Argh...
