Well, I've noticed that MSVC 7.1 does not support inline in C: only
__inline, which has C++ semantics, not C semantics, so they aren't
setting a useful example.

However, would it make sense for GCC to treat dllimport inline functions
as having implicit internal linkage?

What is the 'right way' to make this apparently legitimate usage work?
