Please have a look at that URL. The MinGW people already gave
you a better option: Rename those functions in _biosig_ rather
than MinGW.

More generally, you should use a C++ namespace, or at least
a common prefix for all names. That's what all other libraries
also do. If you don't, you'll get into that kind of trouble
again and again.
