UNICODE is in the user's namespace; it should not be predefined if 
flag_iso (if you have to use specs rather than hooks, you need 
%{!ansi:%{!std=i*:%{!std=c*:-DUNICODE}}} to detect the various conformance 
options).  We should not add to the instances of bug 545 that are still 
present.  If the MinGW headers use a macro in the user's namespace as a 
feature test macro of some sort, they are buggy and should be fixed (with 
fixincludes if necessary for existing installations).
