     Well, it works. I can save a file just clicking on the "SAVE" button.
     
     What I did was change the "rename" to:
     ok = MoveFileEx(rf->tmp_name, rf->file_name, MOVEFILE_REPLACE_EXISTING) != 
0;
     
     and insert an "#include <windows.h>" on the top of the file.
     
     I need to use "!= 0" because it only returns zero if a error happens.
     
     Now I guess that if you or john put a precompiler option to change it
     if we are compiling to linux or windows we could solve this issue.

I don't think it's really pspp's role to fix buggy mingw behaviour.
It should be done by the the Mingw, libc or gnulib people.  (at this
stage, I'm not sure which).  If none of the maintainers of those
libraries will do it, then we could look at fixing it in pspp, but I
think that should be a last resort.
