I don't understand most of this patch. What difference does changing the

I think Bruce was mostly trying to make all the similar tests look
alike. Also I agree that "if a && !b" is clearer than "if !b && a";
the latter requires a bit more thought to parse the extent of the !
operator...



Right, just consistency.




Ok. I understand now.

I'm not sure exactly what Bruce checked, so I just spent a few cycles making sure that we did not inadvertantly pick up a define of WIN32 from windows.h anywhere else. I *think* we are OK on that. However, ISTM this is a foot just waiting to be shot - in retrospect using WIN32 as our marker for native Windows, which we do in a great many places (around 300 by my count) was a less than stellar choice, given that it is defined by windows.h, and especially since we use that header for Cygwin as well as for Windows native in a few places.

cheers
