The discussion which lead to this patch, including the experiments, can be
found in the email thread starting here:

    http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.comp.version-control.git/129403

(along with some other unrelated stuff; but it's not a long read :)

In the above thread, Marius suggested API_WIN32, but I switched it around, since
I thought it sounded better! I also thought about GIT_WIN32. Suggestions?
