For W32 we also need the ability to assign ordinal numbers.  Actually
this is more important than the calling convention suffix because
allmost all new libs use C style.  For example:

    DllRegisterServer = DllRegisterServer at 0      @2	PRIVATE

Which assigns the ordinal 2 to DllRegisterServer.  I don't think the
complex syntax given above is really needed but nevertheless ordinals
are important to keep the ABI consistent,


Salam-Shalom,
