This is related to the extended memory API that Corinna started using last 
April.  At the time the relevant declarations and definitions weren't in the 
mingw-w64 headers yet, so Corinna had to do some ad hoc stuff.  Now that they've 
been added, a lot of that stuff should be removed.  I'll do it later today.
