That's strange. We made quite an effort to live with the
#define of min and max  as they are also defined in the
Microsoft header file windows.h.

Undefining them is in general a bad idea, as Microsoft products
simply need these defines.

In case the appearances of min(a,b) are in your own code, the
workaround is to wrap the word "min" as follows

(min)(a,b)

The additional parethesis prevents the preprocessor to do its work.
