Hi,

the problem is that it might bite Cygwin users. _WIN32 isn't normally 
defined for cygwin gcc, until a windows specific header gets pulled in.

Cygwin maintainers say using _WIN32 for this purpose is an abuse, not 
that I want to argue with them.

I suggest just putting __MINGW32__ and _MSC_VER, we don't know what 
Borland or Watcom compilers are capable of.
