I know exactly how that feels. I have about 1MB of local hacks, which have
all "fallen off the radar": I use them but they're not clean enough to
be installed.

I don't use w32 and I know nothing about its APIs, so I don't know how best
to solve the conflict between the -D_WIN32_WINNT=0x0400 and your duplicate
defines, but I think that if the code is left as you've written it, you
should explain it in the code (rather than in this thread) with a comment.
Such a comment can also be used to vent any frustration you may have at
the -D_WIN32_WINNT=0x0400 flag.
This said, I hope some version of your patch will be installed because
I find the truncation of anti-aliased glyphs (which I have noticed the few
rare times I've used NTEmacs) isn't just ugly but makes the use of small
fonts more painful (I love small fonts and find that the ability to use
smaller fonts is one of the main benefits of anti-aliasing).

IIRC it's documented in the Emacs manual, but follow the examples in
src/ChangeLog. Basically: use the present tense and active forms, capitals
after the ":" and don't forget the terminating ".". Use C-x 4 a (from the
locations in the source code or from the corresponding diff-mode buffer) to
help you write the entries.
