Oh that's the other problem I ran into.

The core .c has a lot of goto finally;

finally: In C mode, this shouldn't matter. But MS's EVT compiler considers "finally" to be a reserved word. I had to change all of these too. (I used localfinally or some such thing)

This compiler seems to fly in the face of the C std whenever it can. What are they trying to accomplish?
