DIP 45 - approval discussion

[Benjamin Thaut]

Attached you will find a e-mail conversation about the discussion of DIP 
45. I moved the discussion here so everyone can contribute.

Hi,

DIP 45 is waiting for some offical approval / comment so it can be 
implemented. It would be great if one of you could look into the topic 
and give official approval or improvement suggestions as the DIP has 
been in limbo for quite some time now. I'm not willing to start working 
on it before there is official approval, because I made bad experiences 
with this in the past.

In my opinion the DIP is in a state where further discussion will not 
lead to any improvements. The DIP should be implemented to see which 
problems arrise during implementation to then discuss how to solve them.

I've also seen a couple of questions to the state of Windows DLL support 
and shared libraries on the newsgroup. A working export keyword is 
required to actually implement that support on windows.
