Some time ago (while struggling with Optimisation Services, I think) I set up my
environment to hide the include directory that comes with MinGW when doing
builds with cl.  I was seeing type conflicts between the MinGW include files and
the MSVC8 include files, and I wanted to be dead certain that the cl build had
no dependencies on MinGW other than autotools.  Apparently there are differences
in the include files.  It's interesting to know that it works using gcc and the
MinGW include files.  I'll keep that in mind.
