That will leave us dependent on compilers that support it.
I agree that Wine should not depend on hacked compilers. However it would be nice to have anyway for Winelib. There should be an alternative but if it saves 'big' Winelib developpers from having to write huge spec files by hand then it would definitely be a plus.
For Winelib sure that would be a good idea.
I'm not saying that you, Patrik, should do it. I just don't want potential contributers to think that this is not something that would be useful to Wine/Winelib.
OK. For the record I see absolutely nothing wrong GNU C handles __declspec(dll{import,export}) and just put useful information in some aproprietely named section. After all you can always strip the section if don't want it and BTW if why don't want it why use __declspec(dll{import,export}) at all...
