OK, I guess if that's what you've been doing for years it doesn't seem to
onerous but point taken anyway <G>.

Remember that whenever a function is added to the main code it'll need to go
into whatever .DEF system is used (if it's a serious intention to keep the
WIN32 stuff up-to-date...)

Sort of related issues (well building the libxml2_so for WIN32 anyway):

Using the ./configure suggested in README.MSDev everything works until towards
the end when I get:

....
creating example/Makefile
creating libxml/xmlversion.h
sed: can't read ./libxml/xmlversion.h.in: No such file or directory
creating xml2-config
creating libxml-2.0.pc
creating xml2Conf.sh
creating config.h

Is this me being stupid or is there a problem here?  Copying the
xmlversion.h.in into the libxml subdirectory and running again
works fine but...
