Not that I know of.  Don't the w32-related ones give you enough
headaches already?  ;-)

Data exports are trickier than one thinks.  For example, the size of an
exported array is part of the interface.  :-/

Erm, now that I mention it: if someone would change lt__error_strings to
be used through an accessor function, that would be *great*
(it was not part of 1.5 interface).

Cheers,
