You had me perplexed there for a while: "<-" assignment in C code??? However,
those lines occur inside comments, so at least gnuwin32 is not to worry about.
As you look around those parts, you might also find some superfluous PROTECTs
inserted by me some time in the last century while trying to chase down the
mysterious crashes that we had. (They eventually turned out to be caused by
parser lookahead breaking protection stack discipline, fixed by UNPROTECT_PTR()
etc.). I lost track a bit in the frenzy and I never got around to backing out
everything.
