I'm no Windows expert but I think you can always export symbols using a 
.def file. It's simply a matter of the linker understanding .def files.

Not sure if you mean avoiding using the EXPORTS section in a .def
file, or if you want to avoid using export declarations in code?
(they're alternatives to each other).
