Note that Comeau can link together object files that were compiled in strict and
non-strict modes.  So it is possible to make non-__stdcall jumpers in another
translation unit that call the __stdcall (etc.) Windows API functions.
Non-strict mode is *considerably* less strict.  It isn't just strict mode +
calling convention keywords.  Using non-strict mode effectively defeats the
purpose of using Comeau in most cases.
