OK, I did that but then got another error:

unsetenv.c(30) : fatal error C1083: Cannot open include file: 
'unistd.h': No such file or directory

So I deleted the #include <unistd.h> line from unsetenv.c and tried 
again, but got yet another error:

iconv_no_i18n.c
..\srclib\unitypes.h(23) : fatal error C1083: Cannot open include file: 
'stdint.h': No such file or directory

So I deleted the #include <stdint.h> line from unitypes.h and tried 
again, but then got lots of errors:

iconv_no_i18n.c
..\srclib\unitypes.h(23) : error C2061: syntax error : identifier 'ucs4_t'
..\srclib\unitypes.h(23) : error C2059: syntax error : ';'
..\srclib\uniwidth.h(43) : error C2146: syntax error : missing ')' 
before identifier 'uc'
..\srclib\uniwidth.h(43) : error C2061: syntax error : identifier 'uc'
..\srclib\uniwidth.h(43) : error C2059: syntax error : ';'
..\srclib\uniwidth.h(43) : error C2059: syntax error : ','
..\srclib\uniwidth.h(43) : error C2059: syntax error : ')'
[...]

(and lots more lines too. I can send the complete output if it would help.)

The #include <stdint.h> line in unitypes.h was commented "Get uint8_t, 
uint16_t, uint32_t", but I can't see any MS VC++ 6.0 header file that 
contains these types, so there is no obvious replacement for stdint.h 
either.
