Yould you send me more details on this so I can merge this change?

Hmm?  It already has that:
raptor_print_statement(const raptor_statement * statement, FILE *stream)

Oops.  fixed.

POSIX says it's in unistd.h but whatever.  It has been added
to win32_config.h along with memory.h from a patch for win32/vc6
from Jose Kahan.

That's annoying, I use %option nounistd in the lexer and it
shouldn't be generating them.  This is, however, a bug in flex 2.5.x
and it looks like the one I used had that bug when I made the release.

These I already added from Jose who was building it for win32.

__func__ is part of C99 from the ISO standard a few years ago.
Aren't standards great! :)

Actually I noticed these lines in win32_config.h :

/* for access() which is POSIX but doesn't seem to have the defines in VC */
#ifndef R_OK
#define R_OK 4
#endif

so maybe can they be removed if io.h is included?  Jose/others verify?
