i didn't spend a lot of time thinking if the existing macros could be
made to expand in the way needed. there is a way of doing versioning on
windows but it is foreign to how this symbol versioning scheme works so
i plan to investigate it separately after i get unit tests running.

for now i know what i'm doing is ugly but i need to get protection of
unit tests so i'm doing minimal changes to get to that point. if you're
not comfortable with this going in on a temporary basis i can remove it
from this series and we can work on it as a separated patch set.

my bar is pretty low here, as long as it doesn't break any existing
linux/gcc/clang etc ok, if msvc is not right i'll take a second pass
and design each stop-gap properly. it already doesn't work so things
aren't made worse.

let me know if i need to carve this out of the series.
