Ben,

Looking in the makefile.vc for Shapelib, it does this:

/DSHPAPI_CALL=__stdcall

I would suggesting adding this to the makefile.vc entry for the makefile.vc
in the gdal/ogr/ogrsf_frmts/shape/makefile.vc. If it works, I will add
it into the master.

The problems relate to stuff I did to make Shapelib work properly for VB or
Delphi users. I can't remember all the details.

If the above doesn't work (and I am not at all sure it will), then I will
hack up shapefil.h in an appropriate manner.

Best regards,
