Some apparently mingw versions of winuser.h I can find on the web

Since the only function with the LP[C]WSTR issue which is actually
_called_ by XEmacs is GetNamedSecurityInfo, for the time being I tried
editting intl-encap-win32.c to skip all the others, editting
w32api/aclapi.h to change LPCWSTR to LPWSTR and then rebuilding
intl-auto...
Ah -- I guess I see what you were worrying about. GetWindowLongPtr
and friends are not supported by VS6. Full stop. What level is the
VS6 requirement/where is it coming from? VS2008 an option?
I have been thinking about this, too. The only thing tying us to VS6
is that it works and converting to VS2010 would require some effort.
With 21.4 reaching the EOL (I hope not to make any more setup kits for
21.4), this is a good time to start thinking about building the 21.5
branch with a newer toolset.
VS6 was, actually, a good compiler for its day, but that day is long
past. I would encourage us to move to the newest free (as in beer)
version of Visual Studio available.
https://www.visualstudio.com/en-us/products/visual-studio-express-vs.aspx
seems to indicate that Express 2013 is the latest free version
available.
I think Mats has patches to support VS2010 - Mats, can you post your
patches?
- Vin
