Do note that this only applies to pristine upstream libbz2.

mingw.org patches bz2 to remove the use of stdcall convention. And THAT patch
originates in Cygwin.

So both Cygwin and MinGW.org ship cdecl bz2.

I'm using that patch too, obviously.

Upstreaming this doesn't seem to be a likely prospect - for example, Debian
still has to completely re-patch the whole bz2 buildsystem to use autotools
properly, instead of a simple makefile; and they are usually very good at
upstreaming...

Now, the change to configure is not going to break anything, so it's completely
OK. This comment is mostly FYI.
