Hi Bert - a few comments:
1) This won't work properly unless there is a way to export the fact
that NE_LFS is defined in the API on Win32 - otherwise the app building
against neon has no way to tell.
2) Doing this by default is a backwards-incompatible ABI break, which
I'd rather avoid.
I'd suggest doing something like:
a) have neon.mak create a src/ne_w32conf.h or similar file, which contains
the #define NE_LFS, and install this along with the other headers
b) have ne_defs.h conditionally #include src/ne_w32conf.h on Windows to
pick up the types.
Regards, Joe
