ahhh, then this isn't a CGAL problem like I thought, but a Windoze
problem.  I basically had some static class functions called min and
max that were conflicting.  They weren't CGAL functions but my own
classes.  Sorry for the confusion, but I try to avoid windows as much
as possible and thus am not very familiar with all these details when
such problems arise.

best,
wes
