The problem is that it is very easy to use Rectangle and the fact that
it does not compile on Windows is not noticed until it is tried.
It sounds like a fix would be to replace "using namespace fltk" with
"namespace fltk {" (and a matching } at the end) in the source files.
Although again this probably won't be done until it is noticed when
compiling on Windows.
The other thing that helps is to rearrange the code so that windows.h is
included as little as possible.
