Hello


Extracted from "sn50/build/tcl8.1/win/Makefile"

	(Line 354) cvars      = -DWIN32 -D_WIN32
	(Line 355) cvarsmt    = $(cvars) -D_MT
	(Line 356) cvarsdll   = $(cvarsmt) -D_DLL	

The macros "_MT" and "_DLL" are usually predefined by the
compiler when the "/MD" compiler qualifier is used (to enable
multithreading using the MSVCRT.DLL runtime library). However
in this case the /MD qualifier is not used.

It is strange that these macros are manually defined in the
makefile. This is either a mistake, or an obscure trick to fool
the standard header files.

Comments?


David.
