All files that we add to the .def files (using our python based extractor code) must be available as public symbols when linking as shared libraries.
APR and several other projects solve this by using __declspec(dllexport) instead of .def files, so the linker decides what should be public and not... but we decided not to a long time ago.
There is an exception list for functions that we hide somewhere and with some trickery we could enable different versions for debug and release mode.
