Aha.  I saw that VOID was declared locally in a number of the demo's, 
and didn't see it mentioned in the docs, although maybe it is.  But 
since it is a dummy, it wouldn't break anything if made local to 
win32lib.ew, right?  (It is never assigned a value in one file that is 
used in another.)  So as long as I declared it locally where needed, I 
could unglobalize it in win32lib.ew, declare it locally in winfile.ew, 
and remove the conflict that way...
