Don't forget _SCL_SECURE_NO_DEPRECATE.
_SCL_SECURE_NO_DEPRECATE suppresses the C++ library related deprecations.
_CRT_SECURE_NO_DEPRECATE suppresses the C library related deprecations.

With both of these defined 4996 does not need to be disabled. In our
libraries we have a header that complains at compile time if the user has
not defined these two macros.
