Oh, d'oh. I was clearly too tired when reading that thing. I was
thinking we required changes in the contrib modules/third party
modules, but they don't actually use DLLEXPORT, do they?

In that case, that argument clearly falls, and I'm in favour of the
patch :-) Just make sure you test it on both current and semi-old
versions of mingw, they tend to not always act the same way. Or just
get it in and the buildfarm can figure that part out for us.
