Thinking about the above... It is a good idea to have something like this be
compiled only for MSVC.
I guess we have to add an additional preprocessor directive from mkvcbuild
to the solution (what about MSVC_COMPILER?)

I am installing mingw to test the patch there. Chances are it will break
because mingw does __declspec(dllimport) differently than msvc
