RE: [sv-cc] WIN32 and _WIN32 define

Thanks Francoise. I have rolled in your suggestion for the comment.

Please find attached the new proposal draft (in word format). Still
working on compiling on windows, converting to PDF and uploading to
Mantis.

According to the definition:
 
The dllexport and dllimport storage-class attributes are
Microsoft-specific extensions to the C and C++ languages. They enable
you to export and import functions, data, and objects to and from a DLL.

=> The export and import are to and from the dll.
I read the above as you export to the DLL and you import from the dll.
May be the comment in our header file should say:
export to the DLL
import from the DLL

For Mantis 3022, here is another link that describes the predefined ANSI
C and Microsoft C++ macros.

_MSC_VER is always defined.
_WIN32 is always defined for both 32 and 64 bit applications.
_WIN64 is only defined for 64 bit applications.

Also for reference, __declspec(dllimport) is a Microsoft specific
storage class attribute described by
