It is used to list the symbols that are visible to external modules.
XEmacs isn't really a DLL, but it exports symbols like one, for
consumption by the modules.
Where is it getting acons from? It's not in the source any more, or in the
object files.
[jsparkes xemacs-local]# nm -o src/*.o | grep acons
src/alloc.o:00001339 T _Facons
src/alloc.o:000000b0 d _SFacons
src/faces.o: U _Facons
