   > We need to use _WIN32 not _MSC_VER here because MinGW doesn't define 
_MSC_VER but it requires __delcspec(...). _WIN32 is defined on both of MinGW 
and MSVC.
   
   Thanks! I'm very new to this aspect of library development 😬 
   
   In revisiting why the R packages fail to build here, it's that if we don't 
define `ADBC_EXPORTING`, we get the dllimport attribute, which for the R 
packages is not correct because we're not linking to a DLL (we're building all 
the symbols into our own .dll, *not* exporting them if possible, and exposing 
the ones we do want by wrapping them in an R function or using an R-level 
external pointer. So, I think that `-DADBC_EXPORT=""` is actually correct here 
(we are neither importing nor exporting).
