B17, min/max incompatabilities

The following code:
#include <windows.h>
#include <algobase.h>
int foo() {return 0;}
receives a pair of compilation errors within algobase.h complaining
that min and max are being used with the wrong numbers of arguments.
The problem is that Defines.h (included from windows.h) #define's min and
max as macros. But algobase.h defines them as template functions.
The net result is that windowing programs cannot use any of the STL
features.
Fix: In algobase.h, add lines
#undef min
#undef max
