ImportC was slowly grinding along. His priority was getting all the standard header files to compile on all the platforms. A lot of the system `.h` files on the various platforms have made a feeble attempt to be usable by different compilers but fail miserably, and each one fails in its unique fashion. They'd be easy to fix if he could edit those files, but of course, he can't.
Can't the changes to those files by stored in the compiler? Walter obviously can't change the raw header files, but he can make changes to the files before they're used by the compiler. If that's not possible, can't a modified set of header files be available for download, and if you want to use a system .h file, you have to use the modified version instead?
