Those two files do not compile with MinGW but they are not
used in fact. The files were not in the list of files for compilation
in Makefile but with the recent change which is using *.c
appeared in the list. I only want that it compiles. Do whatever
you prefer. I just worry that if we delete the files the code will be
forgoten for ever.
