There is no such thing as dllimport/dllexport on Linux,
everything is "public" by default. See
http://gcc.gnu.org/wiki/Visibility for a description of a
mechanism for hiding symbols on Linux/GCC.
And thank goodness for that. The existence of export is my number one
complaint about Windows programming. I am so sick and tired of running into
compilation issues due to it that it's not even funny. Linux's shared library
model is _so_ much better than Windows' model, and that's only one of the
reasons why.

Funny I prefer the private by default way of Windows, and Aix may I add.
But I started developing for Windows 3.1 back in the day, while watching
some friends do Amiga 500 coding, and only later on discovered the ways
of UNIX.
