Ok, if nobody else disagrees.  I'll wait over the weekend.

I think, if the variable is non-static it should start with two
underscores.  This was no problem in Cygwin which only exports symbols
we add to a linker definition file, but in case of a "normal" lib, it
makes probably sense not to pollute the namespace.

You don't have to create another patch in that case, I care for it.

Sure!  I wrote "soon" not "now" :)
