| Subject: | Module doesn't compile on 64-bit Windows with VC |
The module redefines SIZE_T to DWORD before including windows.h, which
will eventually lead to DWORD being redefined by the Windows headers
because basetsd.h contains:
typedef UINT_PTR SIZE_T, *PSIZE_T;
This is benign under 32-bit but break under 64-bit where DWORD must
still be a 32-bit type. The easy fix is to get rid of the #define for
SIZE_T alltogether, just as it is already removed for GCC:

I have no idea why the #define was there originally; the code compiles
fine without it with VC6 (32-bit mode) and the 64-bit VC++ compiler from
the Windows 2003 SP1 Platform SDK.
