Sorry, my bad. Seems I got this mixed up. Once we enabled testing for
ecpg we had some problems to be sorted out, but right now only the
DllMain thing seems to be a problem.

Since I do not know whether we really need DllMain could anyone please
test whether ecpg builds correctly without it? We can then sort out how
to fix the problem later on. AFAIRC (and hopefully I'm right this time)
multithreading never worked under msvc so we might have to set
thread-safety to disabled on these systems for ecpg for the time being.
