winsound adds "/export:initwinsound" to the link line. This is an
alternative to __declspec in the sources.
This all gets back to a discussion we had here nearly a year or so ago -
that "DL_EXPORT" isnt capturing our semantics, and that we should probably
create #defines that match the _intent_ of the definition, rather than the
implementation details - ie, replace DL_EXPORT with (say) PY_API_DECL and
PY_MODULEINIT_DECL or some such.
I'm happy to think about this and help implement it if the time is now
right...

Isn't that question a paradox? ;-)
