Building C++ library DLL

Hi all,
maybe it's not the correct list where to ask for 
since my problem is GCC related, but I try anyway.
 
With Microst Visual C++ it is possible to write 
something like
 
class __declspec(dllexport) foo {
    static int 
foo_var;
 
    void 
foo_function();
}
 
This will export the function and the static 
variable without need to put the __declspec(dllexport) on every line of the 
class definition.
 
When using the library, one can 
write
 

class __declspec(dllimport) foo {
 ...
 
My question : Is it supposed to work with GCC 
too ? If not, are there any plans to implement such a nice feature ? This make 
porting of C++ library to windows a lot more easy, since there is a lot less 
__declspec directive to put in the header files ...
