Dropping the overzealous enforcement of an arbitrary division doesn't constitute "a bug"

Aaah ... yes, I guess you could solve the problem by convincing the porters that they are being overzealous. My feeling is that you probably won't get too far - though I'm basing that solely on the responses I received from Jan Dubois about this issue in this thread to the perl-win32-users mailing list.

Of course, Jan Dubois != p5p. (I think that p5p is the place to raise this if you want to get somewhere with it.)

Maybe they could make it so that *every* symbol is available if, in our xs code, we:
#define IT_IS_THE FAULT_OF_THE_AUTHOR_WHEN_IT_BREAKS
Cheers,
Rob
