Tcl Source Code

This patch should not need to go into the 8.4a4
release since Tcl does not yet build with mingw
1.1. If this patch looks good, give me the ok
and I can check it in after the a4 branch has
been created. It should not break the VC++ build
but I only tested it with mingw.

I favor the comment right now.  In my view, this is more of 
a lack on mingw's part, and is something that can likely be 
removed in the future.  In fact, we (Tcl and Tk compilers 
using mingw) should be more diligent about making bug / 
feature request submissions to projects like mingw when we 
encounter these oddities.

Yes, that would also work. Autoconf's approach of
testing for problems and incompatibilities outside
the code is more complex, but I think it leads to
better code in the long run. The short snip of code
in the autoconf test shows exactly what the problem
is and where it applies. I am not saying you could
not add a comment, but code can sometimes be a better
description than a #define in a .c file. I have run
into other parts of Tcl that suffer in this area
(the Windows CHAR junk is simply a nightmare).

You make the call, a simple #define with a comment
or a larger autoconf test.

does it not work to more simply do
   #ifndef _WIN32_IE
   #define _WIN32_IE 0x0300
   #endif

That seems like a lot of tcl.m4 magic to get one definition.
