Not so fast. The reason these are defined is -- if memory serves -- that
VC++ "native", manually created projects, define it. So Bakefile does it
to generate as native projects as possible [*], and msvc format does it
to be fully compatible with the project files.

So while yes, I think we can remove them safely, I'd prefer to do
exactly what native projects do (unless it would be too complicated to
implement, in which case just remove WIN32 definition). Do you know what
do manually created projects do in this regard?

Also, does the resource compiler define _WIN32 too?

[*] Vadim in particular is quite vocal about having this property.
