Interesting. The DL_EXPORT macro must be new. I hacked up my
own because previously there was no explicit way to say "export
this symbol", only "import this symbol" via DL_IMPORT (and export
it under some other conditions).

Perhaps I should move back to using the Python macros instead
of mine.

And yes, DL_IMPORT/EXPORT should have the Py prefix. Those
names just sound like they could attract trouble ;-)
