Subject: [PATCH] define NS_MSG_BASE which is used as a prefix in front of all
 functions & classes in base\util. This macro applies to win32 only right now.
 It is used to declare things as export when building the file and import when
 we are linking against the file. This helps us make msgcoreutil build as a
 dynamic library on win32.
