Technically they are 'implementation defined', not 'undefined', which 
means each compiler
has to define them but different compilers may define them differently. 
Because different
compilers DO define them differently, they are not portable. Since they 
are not portable,
wine should not use them without cloaking them in macros that compensate 
for the
differences.  Which is a PITA. Has anybody done the cloaks already?
