    That's a w32api (MinGW's windows headers) error, you need
    to patch winuser.h with the following as BLENDFUNCTION is
    only defined when the GDI headers are also included. (This
    is roughly the same way it is defined on MSVC, and I think
    more recent w32api's may have fixed this, but not sure).

    #ifndef NOGDI
    BOOL WINAPI UpdateLayeredWindow(HWND,HDC,POINT*,SIZE*,HDC,POINT*,COLORREF,BLENDFUNCTION*,DWORD);
    #endif

    [The alternative, that I do not want committed to our source,
     is to edit ut_sleep.cpp and remove the NOGDI #define.]
