Seeing as nothing is defining _SVDDE_NOLISTS then currently the
DECLARE_LIST branch is unconditionally taken, right ?, not the typedef
branch. So its the typedef branch that's dead.

Seeing as its the last DECLARE_LIST left in core it looks like a great
candidate to convert it to vector/list and allow removal of DECLARE_LIST
into binfilter. Watch out though, there's some windows only code in
ddesvr using the DdeServices thing.
