I'd assume that the current mechanism of DL_EXPORT stays. Then, the
DLL project simply needs to link all object files together - either
by referencing symbols, or by explicitly linking all object files
together into a DLL. The __declspec(dllexport) declarations will
cause the proper symbols to get exported.

Of course, the same will happen if the static library is incorporated
into an executable - that will also export all symbols.
