Sorry, your mail just came through to me for some reason.

Is __WIN32 perhaps something that is supposed to be defined by the MS
compiler? Or is this perhaps compiler specific (i.e. msys/mingw vs.
msvc)? Or dependent on exactly which Windows version you're using?

Just wondering if there's a reason this hasn't been caught earlier as
people have been building taglib on Windows for ages.

CCing the KDE-Windows people as I know they build it and I know they use
CMake, and I don't remember them patching it -- they might know more
details.
