I've noticed that there is a trend of doing more and more of this type 
of fix. Is it really worth the performance penalty of doing this instead 
of adding in an appropriate macro or just not turning on the warning?

This warning is on by default now, which is why I fixed it. I don't
think we want to add macros for that sort of thing except in cases where
there's really no way around it. In this specific case, the right way is
to get rid of the Windows structure to avoid the duplication, but I'll
leave that for someone who knows the code better.
