Suggestion for V4 re DLLs

G'day everyone,
The current situation with DLLs is that anything marked global is exported. Trouble is, lots of included libraries use "global" without meaning that they want themselves to be exposed in a DLLs module list.
For example, at present BOUNE currently exports one symbol: BLOCKS. However, Depends.exe (aka Dependency Walker) lists that module at the end of a long list. Does it hurt to do that? I don't know.
This is the list.
