I think WIN32 must to be defined for every windows program. On
the other hand VisualC++ defines _MSC_VER, so code or pragmas
specific for this compiler can be added inf a #ifdef _MSC_VER.
Sorry but I don't know so much about the other defines.

Some thing I forgot to say is that we had to add the correct definitions to
the INF,  NAN, and things related for the VisualC++, so maybe you have
to do the same for the Borland compiler. Sorry but I have not a gsl tree
here and I don't remember the name of the file in which this stuff is.

Sorry but I can not help in this point, I'm not a MS Windows programing
guru, so maybe somebody else can help here.

Hope that helps.
