Paul Sokolovsky (paul-ml@is.lg.ua) has posted an unreviewed patch which
improves ld's auto-export capabilities and has mentioned something about
an auto-import.  If the patch is accepted (basically by DJ), then I'll
create a new binutils release.

If the auto-import is what I remember then I don't think I like it.  I
could be wrong, but I think itt causes ld to parse header files to find
the information for importing.  I don't like that.

Of course, maybe I'm just misintrepeting or misremembering.
