Trying to submit my first patch

[crwulff at rochester.rr.com]

Juan,

  Thanks for the quick response. The fastcall assembly I actually copied
from another DLL (I think it was in ntoskrnl.exe or ntdll.dll.) There
should probably be a standard place for the fastcall macros instead, but
I didn't see one off hand. If you happen to know a good place to put
them I can always clean that up and submit a new patch. It is too bad
that the fastcall conventions aren't standardized between the various
compilers so we have to force the windows ones though.
