I do not suggest that i just wanted to point out that your ssize_t definition 
differs there.

Maybe there is a missunderstanding here, I do not whish to compile gpgme with 
mingw-w64. I do not even build gnupg for windows at all but take the binaries 
that are provided by gpg4win but i need to be able to link libgpgme and for 
that i need to be able to include the correct header files.

I understand your point about making as few assumptions as possible and 
defining your own types. But wouldn't it then be better named gpgme_ssize_t ? 
Can there be a check if ssize_t is already defined instead of having a 
conflicting definition of a system type in a header file?

Regards,
Andre
