I've committed BOOST_DLL_AUTO_ALIAS macro. It's not exactly what you
wanted, take a look and tell me what you think
http://apolukhin.github.io/Boost.DLL/boost_dll/introduction0.html

I've also added new refcounting import functions that automatically decide
to return shared_ptr<T> or function<T>, according to the type of T.
