Description

The C++ ACL plugin fails to link on Windows because the needed QMF-generated symbols built into the broker library are not exported.

It is possible, with little trouble, to change the qmf-gen templates to generate the proper export declarations; however, this would cause all generated symbols to be exported, not just the ACL-related ones. This is not necessarily a bad thing, but I'm open to more ideas on how to accomplish this.

The wide-ranging nature of the code gen was hinted at in QPID-1274. So that's possibly something to consider.

If I don't hear objections within a day or two, I'll go ahead and add the exports to all generated symbols.
