+// Normally we don't export class templates (but do complete specializations),
+// inline functions, and classes with only inline member functions. Exporting
+// classes that inherit from non-exported/imported bases (e.g., std::string)
+// will end up badly. The only known workarounds are to not inherit or to not
+// export. Also, MinGW GCC doesn't like seeing non-exported functions being
+// used before their inline definition. The workaround is to reorder code. In
+// the end it's all trial and error.
+//
+// Exportation of explicit template instantiations is even hairier: MinGW GCC
+// requires __declspec(dllexport) on the extern template declaration while VC
+// wants it on the definition. Use LIBBUILD2_{DEC,DEF}EXPORT for that.
