the leading underscore denotes that this define is "private" by the
preprocessor, and thus should NOT be defined manually by the user.
Some compilers define WIN32 also, but it's not guaranteed.
the reverse as above: since preprocessors automatically define names
_with_ leading underscores, they "should rather not" define names
without leading underscores.

apart from that, i think it would be ok to use MSW (or any other
self-defined word) if the _WIN32, WIN32 and __WIN32 magic is handled in
a centralized way (e.g. m_pd.h)
