One way to avoid this is to use the _export keyword.  So instead of a
Window function that looks like

DWORD FAR PASCAL WinProc(...)

it looks like

DWORD FAR PASCAL EXPORT WinProc(...)

where you have

#define EXPORT _export

defined someplace convenient.

This way the export is defined with the procedure instead of someplace 
seperate.
