I suspect that the real issue is whatever stuff Windows uses (and no,
I don't have Windows boxen either).  Anybody who wants to work on
code that last compiled on VAX is not going to be happy with what
sparse will say about it, anyway.  More realistic case is a codebase
with some VMS ancestry that got moved to Windows.
