Unfortunately we need those libs for some minor calls into the winapi.
But there's no other conflict then our official libuuid, which is prefered
over the win32api uuid.a without my patch.

I never uploaded 2.49 because the are more severe issues with dynamic modules
besides those minor patches.

Unfortunately we need this also.

Of course I patched that. With CRLF we cannot pipe into clisp.

I believe the latter.
