of course: we like to call it "the source" :-)

Yep, these are macro wrappers for using __declspec

you got it in one: that's how they get there!

err... which symbols?

we have sort of a convention, that we even occasionally abide by, that
oz_... symbols are internal (often defined as macros or inline
functions) and OZ_... symbols are meant for export.

An OZ_Term is a TaggedRef.

Propably something like:

_FUNDECL(OZ_Return,oz_addSuspendVarList,(OZ_Term*));

but really a OZ_addSuspendVarList should be defined and exported
instead.  See for example OZ_suspendOnInternal.

The Mozart emulator uses first-class labels when they are available
(i.e. GCC), but reverts to more conventional switch statement
otherwise.  I have no idea what MSVC supports; maybe Leif can
enlighten us.
