B17, min/max incompatabilities

[Steven J. Zeil]

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
