Guards are the special preprocessor definitions used to enable/disable
compilation of the various program blocks. For example, look at the
cpl_port.h module, it contains constructions like

#ifdef HAVE_LOCALE_H
#  include <locale.h>
#endif

HAVE_LOCALE_H guard is defined in the cpl_config.h file. We can define a
symbol for Embedded VC in nmake.opt and use it as a guard in the various
modules to include the right headers. The first candidates are
cpl_port.h and cpl_vsisimple.cpp. That symbol will be manually enabled
in nmake.opt when appropriate.

Andrey
