i dont see how that would help.  the code is currently:
typedef struct ... {
	...
	CHAR foo[1];
} ...;

it needs to be "foo[]".  ANYSIZE_ARRAY is defined as 1, so once the 
preprocessor is done, we're right back where we started.  i cant change the 
value of ANYSIZE_ARRAY to nothing because some code uses this define in 
multiplication to calculate the size of objects.
