Libguestfs - Apr 2010 - hivex: Exported foreign symbols in libhivex.so.0.0.0

The symbols file generated in the Debian package to aid the package
maintainer automatically detect future changes shows internal library
and helper function names, whereas it should only be exporting hivex_*
function names. This page may help with this:

Yup this is a bug too.  In libguestfs we control symbol visibility
with a linker script.  We need to port this over to hivex too.
