Well, as Rob quoted from thread. It looks like Harold discovered problems
with
w32api headers. I think Ernie should have a look at Harold patches and fix
the
problems in w32api headers. Putting a -DXFREE flag in w32api is still a bad
idea.
It needs to be fixed in w32api or hw/xwin, whatever is has problems.
