When I get some time, I'll have a look.

Except for CLX, the windows port should work. However, I didn't test the
multi-threaded version for a while, so it's possible that some parts do
not work. Bug reports are of course always welcome.

This is a problem with Win32 and the MSVC compiler. OUT and ERROR are #define'ed
by some headers and the compiler doesn't like to see them as labels in the code.
This should be avoided. I already had the problem in my original MSVC port.
