  I think that's the format, of course currently all exports are formatted
in the header files to align arguments, this will be a pain... The name of
the macro is not binding but 1/ XML prefix and 2/ short to minimize space
are 2 constraints I would like to impose ... XMLEXPORT/XMLCALL are fine.
Check withn Mark for this ...

  Nahhh ! No Way !!!
But I will have to make sure the macros really get defined to empty strings
when building on anything but Windows (and apparently OS/2)
