Re: RC4 compile problem on FreeBSD 4.10 and Windows

This also breaks building on Windows, MSVC6.

Why didn't you release a RC4a this this fix in it?
Seems like you put every one that is testing RC4 to unnessesary
extra work to find out you know about this problem and then
apply the patch.

Because it didn't seem worth a whole separate release.

Actually, the number of people who were both (1) testing RC4 and (2) 
using gcc < 3.0 or MSVC6 were a very small group of people.  That's why 
we decided not to bother with an RC5.
