In src\windows, I tried compiling both main.c and testbed.c (not using 
any makefiles, just directly applying a compiler).

They both call a startbabyx() function which is incompatible with the 
one defined in BabyX.h.

It seems they pass an extra Hinstance first parameter. If I switch from 
WinMain() to main(), then testbed.c compiles - by itself. (Note that 
Windows GUI apps don't need WinMain; they work just as well with main.)

I tried another module BBX_Canvas.h. gcc complained about a type 
mismatch (but it is 14.1 which is stricter).

tcc said it couldn't find windowsx.h.

My mcc had problems with UINT32 which doesn't seem to be defined 
anywhere that I could see.
