Hi Jonathan,

Thanks for reporting these issues. I've restricted the use of 
__builtin_expect() to GCC, however we are interested if you have a patch 
that would help compiling the examples without C99 support, and we 
definitely need to have the headers usable from MSVC.

Thanks a lot for your time!
Cédric
