Just put a CRPUBFUNC macro in front of all functions that should be
public and #define it to resolve to nothing; it's easier for you to
do since you have a better handle on what's public and what's not and
how to fit that into your coding style. I can then provide a patch to
#define the macro to __declspec(dllimport) or __declspec(dllexport)
as appropriate.

'1' '+' '2'. (This might also parse as a number but libcroco does not
do that at the moment either...)
