In general it would be nice to use names instead of numbers,
but it's much bigger change then this patch, since it would require
copying and syncing a bunch of headers into tools/ which may not be such
a good idea in the end.

Only removal of min() looks a bit suspicious to me.
Eric, is it because it now comes from some header?
