The windows32api headers define a DELETE macro, which is obviously not
what RCS expects.

You may need to insert a #undef DELETE after the appropriate to nullify
the windows one and use RCS one.

Damn these namespace polluting macros in system headers.

My preference of course is to change the RCS macros/enums to use RCS_
prefix and be done with it.
