[LLVMdev] LLVM Shared DLL not supported reason

[Reid Kleckner]

Windows DLLs generally require that you know what you want to export from
them. LLVM has no export annotations or export lists, so we don't support
building DLLs. If you are using mingw, then ld supports the
--export-all-symbols flag which might work, but I don't think it's well
tested.
