The recent commit:

        User: dprice  
        Date: 05/05/28 10:39:04

        Modified:
         /ccvs/
          config.h.in, configure
         /ccvs/windows-NT/
          config.h, config.h.in, stamp-chi

        Log:
         Regenerated.

breaks the Windows build since Microsoft does NOT provide "sys/cdefs.h"

CVS Project compiles primarily with Visual Studio 6.0 on Windows 2000.
