Cool! Is that documented somewhere? I couldn't find it in the online C++ manual
at http://h71000.www7.hp.com/commercial/cplus/docs/ug.html

But you need a C++ compiler. I didn't have that available.

Also it looks to me then you have to weed through all code and headers, to
make sure those definitions don't stay hidden behind their ifdef WIN32 (or 
whatever is used ). What's even worse, windows specific headers and code are
very often in specific windows directories, and sometimes the __declspec...
statements are further obfuscated by some kind of macro. 
Don't we need an app for that?
