RE: [GD-Windows] Strict ANSI and <windows.h>

[Jon W. <hp...@mi...>]

The sucky part of MSVC version 6 (and the Microsoft headers) is that 
there's no way of getting BOTH conformant language AND <windows.h> at 
the same time.

If you're worrying about the for() scoping problem, then the work-around 
is to put this in some of your common headers (like StdAfx.h):

// work-around for brain-dead MSVC for scoping problem
#define for if(0);else for

Cheers,
