Yes, I fully agree that the macro is a bit long (to put it mildly).=20
However, they come in pairs; one for declaring the data and another=20
one for defining it. For defining I use APU_DEFINE_EXPORTED_DATA,
which is nicely symmetrical with the macro for declaring the data.
But I'd be happy to use shorter alternatives.

Yes, having sent the previous posting, I looked around and found=20
that link, and realized that this change surely will need a change=20
in the minor number.

Ok, so what's the best way to proceed?=20
