WORD is defined in windef.h and if use in cttypes.h
typedef uint16_t WORD;
MSVC++ 6 gives following

Compiling...
ctcbase.cpp
D:\cuneiform\branches\cuneiform.0.0.xNix\kern\h\cttypes.h(213) : error
C2371: 'WORD' : redefinition; different basic types
        C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio\VC98\INCLUDE\windef.h(144)
: see declaration of 'WORD'

I don't know, why there is no such error in MSVC++ 9. In fact I make this
change only to build core under MSVC++ 6.
I agree this define would only be needed on non-windows platforms, but I
don't know that is needed in MinGW.

You last variant is equal to my first attempt (in my opinion). I think in
non MS compilers macros _MSC_VER is not defined and (_MSC_VER < 1201) is
TRUE, so you have troubles.
