Not really, you can guard them with ifdef __WINESRC__. The Wine source 
already has stricter requirements than what the Win32 API would allow.
Of course the real issue is getting to the point where Wine will compile 
without warnings with the strict min/max macros. Actually that was once 
a janitorial task to use the strict min/max macros and fixup the 
problems found by that.
