Summary: XMLPARSERAPI and __cdecl

Initial Comment:
If before including expath.h XMLPARSERAPI is defined 
to __declspec(dllimport) __cdecl which is required if 
you are building a project with fastcall calling 
convention the following errors result.

expat.h(548) : error C2165: 'left-side modifier' : 
cannot modify pointers to data
expat.h(574) : error C2165: 'left-side modifier' : 
cannot modify pointers to data
expat.h(689) : error C2165: 'left-side modifier' : 
cannot modify pointers to data
Include\expat.h(702) : error C2165: 'left-side 
modifier' : cannot modify pointers to data
Include\expat.h(706) : error C2165: 'left-side 
modifier' : cannot modify pointers to data

Which is the result of the XMLPARSEAPI definition 
apearing between the return type and the * modifier 
indicating that the return type is a pointer.  By 
moving XMLPARSEAPI to the right hand side of the * 
modifier the problem is resolved.

This is using expat_win32bin 1.95.1 with Microsoft 
Visual Studio 6.0 SP4.
