So what? We don't link with those libraries. The proposed #defines
seem like a completely bad idea, especially since as-presented they
would affect every platform not only yours. We don't need the
maintenance/debugging headaches of routines that don't have the names
they appear to have.

Surely this bit would need to be conditional on whether libsecur32
is available?

That bit seems sane.
