Yeah, I mentioned that.

Only if you want to make Wine depend on the compiler used to compile 
Windows applications. Not all of them are called "MSVC". I know Borland 
Delphi is used by some these days, and its ABI expectations might be 
different.

Well, I took a look to see what msvcrt expects these days. Looks like it 
expects DF clear now. But I don't think this was always the case in the 
past... (though it's also possible I'm thinking back to win16 here.)
