Compiling libpurple in Visual Studio

[Ethan Blanton]

David Byron spake unto us the following wisdom:

> #if (defined(WIN32) || defined(_WIN32))
> #define PRPL_EXTERN  __declspec(dllexport)
> #else
> #define PRPL_EXTERN
> #endif
> 
> and then each public function starts with PRPL_EXTERN, like this:
> 
> PRPL_EXTERN PurplePlugin *purple_find_prpl(const char *id);
> 
> I'll try something like this and get it to work, then submit a patch.

If there is an external way to do this, that is preferable, at least
to me.  I see no reason to crap up the code to fix a Windows problem
that can be fixed without messing things up for people on real
platforms.
