Yes. You cannot use APR_DECLARE_DATA, because that will expand to
__declspec(dllimport). It only expands to __declspec(dllexport) when
inside the compilation of APR itself.
If you wanted to go down this route, you would need to define a
SVN_DECLARE_DATA, which varied depending on whether you were compiling
_Subversion_, not APR.
However, I thought the whole point of extractors and .def files was to
avoid decoration?
If it turns out that .def files cannot adequately support data exports,
I think we would be better off just to use decoration everywhere - using
one system for function exports and a different system for data exports
would be too confusing.

AFAIK, the only other cause to use a declaration macro is if you need to
decorate to force calling convention (i.e. APR_DECLARE_NONSTD).
I'm not aware of us forcing any calling conventions at present.
