Unfortunatly, that breaks things so bad it's not even funny. For a file
as simple as src/port/win32error.c I get hundreds of errors - many in
the win32 header files. Seems you ar eont allowed to pull in the win32
API headers without that flag - just the basic ANSI ones. So that' sjust
not going to fly.
