Thanks for persisting in hunting this down! It indeed looks like DllMain()
is treated specially by VC to always use the "C" naming convention, but
MinGW doesn't copy that special treatment.

Adding the additional extern "C" should be a no-op in VC, so the fix should
be trivial. I'll make another release after looking at the 64-bit issues
as well.
