+WINDOWS_EXPORT_ALL_SYMBOLS
+--------------------------
+
+This property is implemented only for MS-compatible tools on Windows.
+
+Enable this boolean property to automatically create a module definition
+(``.def``) file with all global symbols found in the input ``.obj`` files
+for a ``SHARED`` library on Windows.  The module definition file will be
+passed to the linker causing all symbols to be exported from the ``.dll``.
+For global *data* symbols, ``__declspec(dllimport)`` must still be used when
+compiling against the code in the ``.dll``.  All other function symbols will
+be automatically exported and imported by callers.  This simplifies porting
+projects to Windows by reducing the need for explicit ``dllexport`` markup,
+even in ``C++`` classes.
+
+This property is initialized by the value of
+the :variable:`CMAKE_WINDOWS_EXPORT_ALL_SYMBOLS` variable if it is set
+when a target is created.

+* Program:  dumpexts.exe
+* Author:   Gordon Chaffee
+*
+* History:  The real functionality of this file was written by
+*           Matt Pietrek in 1993 in his pedump utility.  I've
+*           modified it to dump the externals in a bunch of object
+*           files to create a .def file.
+*
+* Notes:    Visual C++ puts an underscore before each exported symbol.
+*           This file removes them.  I don't know if this is a problem
+*           this other compilers.  If _MSC_VER is defined,
+*           the underscore is removed.  If not, it isn't.  To get a
+*           full dump of an object file, use the -f option.  This can
+*           help determine the something that may be different with a
+*           compiler other than Visual C++.
+*   ======================================
+* Corrections (Axel 2006-04-04):
+*   Conversion to C++. Mostly.
+*
+ * Extension (Axel 2006-03-15)
+ *    As soon as an object file contains an /EXPORT directive (which
+ *    is generated by the compiler when a symbol is declared as
+ *    declspec(dllexport)) no to-be-exported symbols are printed,
+ *    as the linker will see these directives, and if those directives
+ *    are present we only export selectively (i.e. we trust the
+ *    programmer).
+ *
+ *   ======================================
+*   ======================================
+* Corrections (Valery Fine 23/02/98):
+*
+*           The "(vector) deleting destructor" MUST not be exported
+*           To recognize it the following test are introduced:
+*  "@@UAEPAXI@Z"  scalar deleting dtor
+*  "@@QAEPAXI@Z"  vector deleting dtor
+*  "AEPAXI@Z"     vector deleting dtor with thunk adjustor
+*   ======================================
+* Corrections (Valery Fine 12/02/97):
+*
+*    It created a wrong EXPORTS for the global pointers and constants.
+*    The Section Header has been involved to discover the missing information
+*    Now the pointers are correctly supplied  supplied with "DATA" descriptor
+*        the constants  with no extra descriptor.
+*
+* Corrections (Valery Fine 16/09/96):
+*
+*     It didn't work for C++ code with global variables and class definitons
+*     The DumpExternalObject function has been introduced to generate .DEF file
