Summary: winnt.h syntax error

Initial Comment:
In the w32api, include/winnt.h has this at line 209:
#define INVALID_FILE_ATTRIBUTES  (DWORD (-1))

MS Visual Studio .Net 2003 defines it as:
#define INVALID_FILE_ATTRIBUTES ((DWORD)-1)
This is in PlatformSDK/Include/WinBase.h line 62.

This syntax problem was found in "the wild" while
compiling glib-2.6.2 (and 2.6.3), glib/gfileutils.c:142:
  int attributes;
  ...
  if (attributes == INVALID_FILE_ATTRIBUTES) {...}

The above is being compiled by MingW 3.1.0, gcc 3.4.2.
 The actual syntax error is "error at token before "-" ".

You must have an old version of winnt.h in the wild.  This was 
fixed over a year ago.
