By creating and starting the timer on clutter_main() an assumption is made
that that is how the main loop will be run for all clutter applications.
With more and more applications moving to GApplication, this assumption no
longer holds true.
Moving to clutter_init() means we are starting the timer earlier than we
should, and by not stopping it when the main loop quits we are taking a
measure that is later than we should. I believe it is safe to consider
those are close enough to the actual beginning and quitting of the main
loop in practice.

Cogl, when built with the SDL winsys, will include the SDL headers when
Cogl-based programs are built, which causes the SDL's wrapper for main()
to be used on Windows, causing an implicit requirement that all Cogl-based
apps must link to SDL2.lib and SDL2main.lib. Avoid this behavior by
defining SDL_MAIN_HANDLED in the CFLAGS of the sample and interactive test
programs
Instead of just bailing out when initializing the test suite, we can do
a much better job and skip all the tests. This means that the TAP driver
will work correctly instead of dying a horrible death, and we get a nice
report with a proper cause of the test skipping.
Without a paint() implementation in clutter-stage, the function
from clutter-group is used. That class has its own child list,
but attempts to use sort_depth_order, which is empty in this case.
This provides a partial fix by replacing a minimal paint(), see:

Commit e70a0109 simplified the dispatching of events by passing the event's
owernership to ClutterStage, but it may be so that any.stage is NULL at
some point on Windows, which will either cause _clutter_stage_queue_event()
to crash or issue a critical warning. Avoid this problem by checking
whether event->any.stage is not NULL before trying to call
_clutter_stage_queue_event().

...so that its entries will reflect the entries that are checked by the
autotools builds on config.h.in. Also take into consideration for MinGW
builds and for newer Visual Studio versions, such as the availability for
inttypes.h. Update the layout of the file cosmetic-wise as well.
Clutter, like GTK+ and GLib, has recently switched to a visibility-based
method of exporting symbols, so update the Visual Studio build files to
do likewise, by using __declspec (dllexport). This eliminats the need to
use a .def file to export the symbols. The pre-configured
config.h.win32.in is also updated accordingly for this purpose. The
clutter.symbols file can be dropped if it is not being used otherwise.
Instead of listing every public symbol inside an ancillary file, we can
use compiler annotations. This scheme is also used by GLib and GTK+.
The symbols file is left in tree until the Visual Studio rules are
fixed, but it's not used any more during distcheck.
I double-checked that the exposed ABI is the same before and after this
change, except for symbols that were never meant to be public in the
first place, and that escaped our attention when we generated the first
version of the symbols file.
