Got a question on windows.h, bc++, and c++ mode.

I was entering the sysmet? examples from the petzold book and I
noticed that min and max weren't defined.  That's funny, they're in
help... Well, went spelunking through windows.h and noticed that they
are in there, but if you are compiling c++ mode they are ignored.
What do you know, to use my fetal windows classes, I've got to use c++
mode! 

Would some kind person explain why the min and max macros aren't
defined when you are using c++ mode?  I know how to make them defined
but I assume that borland wouldn't have done the #if defs around them
if there wasn't a good reason.

I just wrote a few quick functions.  Messy, but quick.
