I think this is a strong argument to move away from the export 
definition in DEF file to a decoration in the header file. With the 
prefix like i.e. WIRESHARK_API(1) you can decorate any function that is 
intended to be public available. The WIRESHARK_API will be #defined as 
declspec(__dllexport) or declspec(__dllimport) depending on the 
environment. Wile building any libWireshark module it's export, it's 
import when compiling a DLL using libWireshark.

(1) Any other prefix is acceptible.
