Okay - just before I do that though, a bit more investigation might have 
revealed the problem...

I'm building with VS8, using my own vcproj files.  Essentially they're 
the same as the official ones except that as well as building a Debug 
target and a Release target, I also build a "Debuggable Release" 
target.  Apart from that there are only minor differences - for example 
when I build the Debug modules I append a letter "D" to the target name 
(in line with what normally gets done when building with MSVC).

Here's where it gets interesting... my VS8 projects seem to use 
".symbols" files for determining what gets exported from the built 
DLLs.  I can't remember why I needed to do that but I probably just need 
to amend them - or hopefully find a way to stop using them now!
