What you said is right at this moment, I think.  But I ... could not aware that that sequence.
Under make of losystep.cc, I could not really comipile it.  Errors appread were typical 
to the lost of windows.h.  So I consider the patch at that moment.

>Damn, why does it work under MSVC?"  
I also think what you said is completly right now.  However, I thought that it was a 
careless mistake at the integrating the unixy and windowsish codes at that moment.
That was my careless mistake.

However the problem is why the detection at configure check did not work on MinGW.
Sorry I have no idea at this moment because it is midnight in Japan and the problem is beyond 
my head now.   Please wait a while to check what was happend in MinGW.

If it is not required at patch for msvc, it should be tempoaral patch for the MinGW build.
And modification will be deleteded at the moment for the 3.0.1 release.

We have to solve it until 3.0.2 release.

That's all What I can reply at the moment.

Regards

Tatsuro
