Perhaps its just my own ignorance showing through, but I was under the 
impression that (at least with g(cc|++) 3.3.x that any 
macros/pre-processor definitions appeared in the global namespace, 
irregardless of the namespace that they were defined in.  Is there some 
way around with 3.4.x?

I tried at one point of redoing the entire win32api using constants and 
function stubs, but kept getting stuck on some issues... just can't 
quite remember what they were now :-).
