As per subject, the dll attributes can't be applied to c++ namespaces - this in
fact applies to all windows platforms, not just cygwin. This would be a
desirable mechanism for eliminating the use of auto-import by using explicit
dllimport attributes, without having to uglify every header in the whole
library to do so.

Summary: dll{im,ex}port attributes don't (yet) work on
namespaces.
