Hi,

thanks for testing.

Yes another user also noticed this and reported. In the official
distribution we will include the redistributable vc++ 2010 runtime.

The extra defines you have are also in the
windows/{sparse,nosparse}/config.h files. I had also put in an /INCLUDE
for this directory and defined HAVE_CONFIG_H=1. If this file is included
then these defines should exist.

Please make sure the correct config.h files are included. If the problem
persists, I'll change the project files to contain these macros directly
instead of using a config.h.
