??? You mean to make an empty "dummy" unistd.h for Windows machines in
w32/include or create a custom windows unistd.h? Your great suggestion of
using "HAVE_STDLIB" instead of all these #if defined(...) is enough, I
think, at least for the MS compiler. Anyway, I will wait for your mail and
continue work with your first reply - there's a lot of things.
