Or, more concisely:

  #if !(defined(lint) || defined(RC_INVOKED))
    #pragma pack(2)
  #endif
  typedef struct{
  };
  #if !(defined(lint) || defined(RC_INVOKED))
	 #pragma pack()
  #endif

lint doesn't care about structure packing - it's a code checker, not a
code compiler. Therefore, it makes sense to tell it not to include files
that it doesn't need, and that just cause extra warnings to be produced.

(Unknown pragma, for one, and, probably warnings about multiple 
inclusion of the push/pop headers.)

If you've got 'lint' defined for compiling, you've got a seriously
confused setup.

Usually. Again, packing is irrelevant, and anyway, the resource compiler
doesn't understand all C++, so why confuse it.
