This may not be quite the right long term solution. Language bindings for example might be importing some symbols from the core library and exporting others to the user. Similarly for drivers. I'm not quite sure why things work at the moment. I suspect it is because the import is optional. We should probably try to fix this though to make it really clear whether we are importing or exporting. I did this for the drivers - they use PLDLLEXPORT in the source because they only every export symbols to the core library. The imports are defined elsewhere.
