Yes, my request was not to dump the entire (750k) preprocessor output to
the list, but to just the relevant portion of the output to make sure
there weren't any macros interfering with the parse.

Matthias probably already hit it on the head - gnulib can guarantee that
uid_t is defined in spite of mingw not providing it, but I haven't
personally checked whether we are using this aspect of gnulib yet, and I
will defer to see Matthias' patches.
Well, I looked at gnulib, but I can't find where or how it guarantees
uid_t and gid_t. But just having uid_t and gid_t defines doesn't help
that much if the related functions like chown are missing.
I ended up just adding typedef unsigned int uid_t.
