I take it you mean 0.61? I have posted a TODO on this list a while ago

I do not have any specific Win32 plans. If it looks like VC6 compliance is
close than I may delay the release a bit. Other than that I myself do not
plan to put any effort into it.

Well a lot of C API code is generated so it will be necessary to modify
the mk-src script. I will not accept a patch that only modifies the
generated files. Perhaps it will be best to describe the changes needed
and let me modify the script and send you a patch to try.
But the Aspell utility currently uses a good deal of the internal API. If
absolutely necessary I will accept code that marks the necessary
functions/methods to export. However,
1) I hope to make the external (ie C) API powerful enough that the
Aspell utility does not have to use any of the API.
2) I would rather find another way. For example are there any flags
you can pass in to export ALL symbols in a given namespace or maybe
ones that match a regular expressions?
