Thats just header fixes. We're not using the STL at the moment, so it
doesn't affect us.

I've got no idea why MSVC-- is choking on that particular line. you
might try:

 return (fdc_table[fd].findCallback<struct
FindWriteCallback>(FindWriteCallback()));

though.

This is getting very frustrating though. I mean, this is a stock
standard functor, nothing exotic, special, or bleeding edge.

Really, what does MSVC give us that the mingw win32 headers and
libraries don't? (And please, ignore that other OS projects are using
MSVC. The ones you quoted before where mostly C based IIRC).

Cheers,
Rob
