Just above it is the exact same define, enclosed in #ifdef WIN32. I thought any Win compiler would define that. In any case, not important.

It is really preferable to do it here instead of the project file. For the LIB build, there is no linker so there is no place in the project file to put it. You'd need to add these libs to all OTHER projects that may include this library. I can certainly add beef up the #if so it only includes VS.

Unfortunately, there is no choice, besides making a copy of the data (which is definitely not worth it). It looks like the prototype for BCryptHashData() is incorrect in NOT labelling the pbInput parameter as const. Luckily, const issues in C are pretty easily overcome with a regular cast.

I'm assuming that it will create makefiles, not VS project files, correct?
