Does the libtool option -export-symbols-regex work on Windows?  GTK 
passes this option on platforms other than Windows to limit which 
symbols are exported (it's effectiveness varies from platform to platform).

If so, you could alter configure.in to always pass 
-export-symbols-regex, which would also have the benefit that the list 
of exported symbols would be the same on Windows and Linux (which also 
means that if there was breakage on Windows related to exported symbols 
there would likely be breakage on Linux too, which would be give a 
greater incentive to fix things).
