  Did you catch my other post where I tried it (on linux) after crudely
disabling visibility support and it worked?  So it has to at least be
possible, and I hope we can build it on top of this patch.

  It's worth it.  There is a benefit for all users.  There is a small cost,
and it's pretty much only on me: I have to promise to stick around and keep
these numbers up-to-date when they change, until such time as I can figure out
an automatic way of doing it in the build script.  I think I can fairly safely
commit to that small level of maintenance effort.
