Hello,

I was trying to build yarv CVS snapshot on windows and ran into
following problem:
  For some reason yarv has "getenv=rb_w32_getenv" in its .def file.
Obviously it conflicts with getenv from runtime (I used libcmt.lib
runtime) during linking. Commenting it out works, but I don't know if
it right way to fix it :)
I understand why yarv has *nix calls there like geteuid, getgid, etc..
But having windows ones either (getc, getenv, getcwd) is like asking
for such link problems.

And while I'm here, I'd like to complain about win32.h:
We have a bunch of macros like '#define listen(s, b) rb_w32_listen(s, b)'
there. I already had problems with them in ruby-1.8.5 and hoped it is
fixed in yarv... problems like
#include <ruby.h>
struct Person {
...
   void listen(Person &who, Location &where);
}
This listen() ofcourse gets replaced with rb_w32_listen which breaks
everything. If you want all listen() calls inside yarv code to be
actually rb_w32_listen calls on windows, there must be better way to
do it.

Last issue I ran into is calling conventions. Yarv compiles fine with
cdecl as default, but fails if default is stdcall. This can be easily
fixed by specifying calling convention explicitly where needed (there
are not so many places where it has to be changed).
